Garlic - Research
The efficacy of Bulbus Allii Sativi as a carminative has been demonstrated in human studies. A clinical study of 29 patients taking two tablets daily (~1000 mg/day) of a dried garlic preparation demonstrated that garlic relieved epigastric and abdominal distress, belching, flatulence, colic, and nausea, as compared with placebo (32). It was concluded that garlic sedated the stomach and intestines, and relaxed spasms, retarded hyperperistalsis, and dispersed gas (32).
A meta-analysis of the effect of Bulbus Allii Sativi on blood pressure reviewed a total of 11 randomized, controlled trials (published and unpublished) (113, 114). Each of the trials used dried garlic powder (tablets) at a dose of 600– 900mg daily (equivalent to 1.8–2.7 g/day fresh garlic). The median duration of the trials was 12 weeks. Eight of the trials with data from 415 subjects were included in the analysis; three trials were excluded owing to a lack of data. Only three of the trials specifically used hypertensive subjects, and many of the studies suffered from methodological flaws. Of the seven studies that compared garlic with placebo, three reported a decrease in systolic blood pressure, and four studies reported a decrease in diastolic blood pressure (115). The results of the meta-analysis led to the conclusion that garlic may have some clinical usefulness in mild hypertension, but there is still insufficient evidence to recommend the drug as a routine clinical therapy for the treatment of hypertension (115).
A meta-analysis of the effects of Bulbus Allii Sativi on serum lipids and lipoproteins reviewed 25 randomized, controlled trials (published and unpublished) (116) and selected 16 with data from 952 subjects to include in the analysis. Fourteen of the trials used a parallel group design, and the remaining two were cross-over studies. Two of the studies were conducted in an openlabel fashion, two others were single-blind, and the remainder were doubleblind. The total daily dose of garlic was 600–900mg of dried garlic powder, or 10g of raw garlic, or 18 mg of garlic oil, or aged garlic extracts (dosage not stated). The median duration of the therapy was 12 weeks. Overall, the subjects receiving garlic supplementation (powder or non-powder) showed a 12% reduction (average) in total cholesterol, and a 13% reduction (powder only) in serum triglycerides. Meta-analysis of the clinical studies confirmed the lipidlowering action of garlic. However, the authors concluded that the overall quality of the clinical trials was poor and that favourable results of betterdesigned clinical studies should be available before garlic can be routinely recommended as a lipid-lowering agent. However, current available data support the hypothesis that garlic therapy is at least beneficial (116). Another metaanalysis of the controlled trials of garlic effects on total serum cholesterol reached similar conclusions (117). A systematic review of the lipid-lowering potential of a dried garlic powder preparation in eight studies with 500 subjects had similar findings (118). In seven of the eight studies reviewed, a daily dose of 600–900mg of garlic powder reduced serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels by 5–20%. The review concluded that garlic powder preparations do have lipid-lowering potential (118).
An increase in fibrinolytic activity in the serum of patients suffering from atherosclerosis was observed after administration of aqueous garlic extracts, the essential oil, and garlic powder (119, 120). Clinical studies have demonstrated that garlic activates endogenous fibrinolysis, that the effect is detectable for several hours after administration of the drug, and that the effect increases as the drug is taken regularly for several months (43, 121). Investigations of the acute haemorheological (blood flow) effect of 600–1200mg of dry garlic powder demonstrated that the drug decreased plasma viscosity, tissue plasminogen activator activity and the haematocrit level (118).
The effects of the drug on haemorheology in conjunctival vessels was determined in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over trial. Garlic powder (900 mg) significantly increased the mean diameter of the arterioles (by 4.2%) and venules (by 5.9%) as compared with controls (122). In another double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients with stage II peripheral arterial occlusive disease were given a daily dose of 800 mg of garlic powder for 4 weeks (123, 124). Increased capillary erythrocyte flow rate and decreased plasma viscosity and plasma fibrinogen levels were observed in the group treated with the drug (123, 124). Determinations of platelet aggregation ex vivo, after ingestion of garlic and garlic preparations by humans, suffers from methodological difficulties that may account for the negative results in some studies (24). In one study in patients with hypercholesterolinaemia treated with a garlic–oil macerate for 3 months, platelet adhesion and aggregation decreased significantly (125). In a 3-year intervention study, 432 patients with myocardial infarction were treated with either an ether-extracted garlic oil (0.1mg/kg/day, corresponding to 2 g fresh garlic daily) or a placebo (126). In the group treated with garlic, there were 35% fewer new heart attacks and 45% fewer deaths than in the control group. The serum lipid concentrations of the treated patients were also reduced (126).
The acute and chronic effects of garlic on fibrinolysis and platelet aggregation in 12 healthy patients in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study were investigated (30). A daily dose of 900 mg of garlic powder for 14 days significantly increased tissue plasminogen activator activity as compared with placebo (30). Furthermore, platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate and collagen was significantly inhibited 2 and 4 hours after garlic ingestion and remained lower for 7 to 14 days after treatment (30). Another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigated the effects of garlic on platelet aggregation in 60 subjects with increased risk of juvenile ischaemic attack (29). Daily ingestion of 800 mg of powdered garlic for 4 weeks significantly decreased the percentage of circulating platelet aggregates and spontaneous platelet aggregation as compared with the placebo group (29).
Oral administration of garlic powder (800mg/day) to 120 patients for 4 weeks in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study decreased the average blood glucose by 11.6% (30). Another study found no such activity after dosing noninsulin- dependent patients with 700 mg/day of a spray-dried garlic preparation for 1 month (127).

"So this is the last time, the last time I'm opening these eyes. They'll never — they'll never see the sun again, a bleak, cloudy day is hiding it. Well, go ahead, Nature, mourn! Your son, your friend, your beloved is nearing his end. Lotte, there's nothing like this feeling, but the closest thing is coming out of a dream — telling yourself: this is the last morning. The last! Lotte, I can't wrap my head around that word: the last! I mean, I'm sitting here now, totally alive, right? and tomorrow I'll be lying stretched out and limp on the floor. Dying! what does that mean? See, we're clueless, when we talk about death. I've seen a lot of people die; but as humans we have such a limited sense of things that we can't wrap our heads around our own beginning and end. And now mine — yours! Yours, oh my love! And for a moment — separated, parted — maybe for ever? — no, Lotte, no — how can I be gone? How can you be gone? We ARE! — "gone!" — what does that mean? That's just a word again, an empty sound, that doesn't mean anything real to me. —— Dead, Lotte! Stuffed into the cold earth — so cramped! so dark! — I had a girlfriend once, who made my stupid teenage life worthwhile — she died, and I followed her corpse and stood by the grave while they lowered the coffin in and pulled the ropes thrummingly out from under it, then dumped in the first shovel of earth, and the terrible box made a dull thump, then duller and duller, until it was finally covered! — I collapsed beside the grave — seized up, shattered, manic, shredded inside, but I had no concept of what was happening to me — what would happen to me — Dying! Grave! I DON'T UNDERSTAND THESE WORDS!
I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! Yesterday! I should have just died on the spot. Oh, you angel! For the first time, for the first time with no doubt at all, the joyful feeling glowed right through me: she loves me! She loves me! I can still feel, burning on my lips, the holy fire that flowed from yours — new, warm joy is in my heart. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Ahh, I knew you loved me, knew it from the first soulful glances, from the first hug, and still, whenever I was away again, or when I saw Albert by your side, I gave up again in anxious despair.
Do you remember the flowers you gave me that one time after that terrible party, where you couldn't say anything to me, couldn't reach out to comfort me? Oh, I spent half the night on my knees in front of them, and I felt so sure they proved you loved me. But — ahh! These certainties fade away, just like the sense of the mercy of God Almighty fades from the soul of the believer, even when it's been shown to him with all the fullness of heaven in sacred, unambiguous signs.
But that's all transient — no eternity will extinguish the glowing life that I tasted yesterday on your lips, that I feel inside me! She loves me! This arm held her, these lips shivered on her lips, this mouth trembled on her mouth. She is mine! You are mine! Yes, Lotte — forever.
And so what if Albert's your husband? Husband! In this world — and so in this world it's a sin for me to love you, for me to want to tear you out of his arms into mine? Sin? Fine, and I'm punishing myself for it; I've tasted it in all its heavenly bliss, that sin, I've sucked down healing and strength into my heart. From this moment on, you're mine! Mine, oh Lotte! I'm passing on! Going to my Father, to your Father. I'll cry to Him about it and He'll comfort me until you come and I run over to you and take you in my arms and stay with you in His eternal gaze in your arms forever.

Jerry Seinfeld Net Worth
How much is Jerry Seinfeld Worth?
in Richest Celebrities › Richest Comedians
Jerry Seinfeld net worth:
Jerry Seinfeld net worth and salary: Jerry Seinfeld is an American comedian and TV star who has a net worth of $950 million. Jerry Seinfeld was born on April 29, 1965 in Brooklyn, New York. He grew up in Massapequa, New York. He attended State University of New York at Oswego for two years. After his second year he transferred to Queens College where he earned a degree in communications and theater. He developed a passion for stand-up comedy while at Queens College and would periodically appear at open-mic nights. After college Jerry spent nearly 15 years grinding out a career as a stand-up comedian before hitting the television jackpot. He was a successful touring comic when in May 1981 he had an extremely successful appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. This appearance led to many more appearances on The Tonight Show and other late night programs like Late Night with David Letterman.
Creating "Seinfeld": In 1989 Jerry teamed up Larry David, a one-time writer on SNL, to create a television pilot for NBC which they originally titled "The Seinfeld Chronicles". The re-named "Seinfeld" would eventually air 180 episodes over 9 seasons and today is considered one of the best shows of all time. It is also one of the successful shows in television syndication history, generating over $4 billion in revenue to date.
Jerry's Seinfeld Salary: Jerry earned $20,000 per episode during the show's 5-episode first season, for a total of $100,000. His per episode pay was doubled to $40,000 for the second and third seasons, for a total of $3.5 million. For seasons 4, 5 and 6, a total of 70 episodes, Jerry earned $100,000 per episode. That equates to $7 million. For seasons 7 and 8, a total of 46 episodes, Jerry's per episode salary was boosted to $500 thousand. That equates to $23 million. For season 9 Jerry earned $1 million per episode, totally $24 million for the season (which is the same as roughly $38 million after adjusting for inflation). He was the very first television actor to earn $1 million per episode. A record that was quickly broken when Tim Allen was paid $1.25 million the following year for his work on Home Improvement.
When you add it all up, Jerry earned just under $60 million in salary alone. Roughly the same as around $100 million after adjusting for inflation.
NBC was desperate to have Jerry come back for a 10th season. They reportedly offered him $5 million per episode to produce one more season. That would have generated $100 million for the season. Had Jerry earned $5 million per episode it would still stand today as the highest per episode fee ever paid to a television actor, more than doubling the $1.8 million Charlie Sheen earned at the peak of Two and a Half Men in 2010.
Syndication Earnings: From the outset of Seinfeld, Jerry and Larry David each owned 7.5% of the show's backend equity points. At the peak of the show's success when Jerry and Larry were negotiating new deals with NBC, they were able to double their ownership stake to 15% each. When the show was first sold into syndication in 1998, it generated $1.7 billion in revenue. That left both Jerry and Larry with $255 million windfalls. As of this writing, Jerry and Larry have both earned at least $800 million off Seinfeld between salary, DVD, merchandise and syndication deals. Larry's net worth unfortunately was cut in half after he divorced Laurie Lennard in 2007.
When Seinfeld sold to Hulu for $180 million in 2015, Jerry and Larry each earned $27 million. In a given year, they earn $40-50 million from syndication sales and show royalties.
When Seinfeld sold to Netflix for $500 million in September 2019, both Larry and Jerry earned $75 million.
Personal Life: Somewhat infamously, Jerry dated Shoshanna Lonstein for four years, starting when she was 17 and still in high school. He was 38. In 1998 Jerry met Jessica Sklar at a sports club a few months before she was set to marry a theater producer named Eric Nederlander. Three weeks after returning from her honeymoon, Sklar moved in with Jerry and broke up with her husband. The husband filed for divorce just four months after the wedding. Jerry and Jessica married a year later and have been together ever since. They have three children together. Between June 2017 and June 2018, Jerry Seinfeld earned $60 million. Between June 2018 and 2019 he earned $40 million.
Car Collection: Jerry is one of the largest private collectors of Porshes in the world. He owns a total of around 150 vehicles, of which roughly 45 are Porsches. For many years while living in Los Angeles to film Seinfeld, he kept his collection in a hangar at the Santa Monica airport. In 2002 he spent $1.4 million to acquire a property on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He proceeded to spend another $500 thousand constructing a garage that can house dozens of cars.
Real Estate: In 2000, Jerry and Jessica paid a total of $32 million over three transactions to put together a 12-acre oceanfront estate in East Hampton, New York. One of the sellers was Billy Joel. They reportedly then spent several million dollars on renovations that included building a large new house on the property and adding a private baseball diamond in the back of the property (Jerry is a massive Mets fan). The Hamptons property has a 22-car garage.
In 2005 the Seinfelds spent $4 million for a townhouse in New York City. Their main NYC home is the entire 19th-floor of a building overlooking Central Park. He reportedly spent so many years renovating that Upper West Side co-ops boards universally implemented new rules against extended renovations. They call it the "Seinfeld Law".
In 2007 Jerry spent $4.5 million on a warehouse in at the Santa Monica airport, apparently to house cars he still keeps on the West Coast. Also in 2007, the couple spent $10 million, over two transactions, to acquire a 27-acre estate in Telluride, Colorado. They listed this property for sale in 2011 for $18.3 million. As of this writing they still own the home.
In 2011 they bought a relatively-modest lake home in Vermont, near where Jessica grew up.

The best place to start is with an omelette. With just a couple of eggs, a few veggies and you're good to go. A good basic recipe is an omlette with ham, tomato and some mushrooms. Swap it up each morning with other great hot ingredients such as onions, sausage and green peppers.
While you're at the frying pan, another great family favourite is pancakes and french toast. Easy to make, they are great complements to morning veggies such as cooked spinach, bacon or some red potatoes. Give these varieties a try and you're sure to see some happy faces on the way out of the door.
If mornings aren't the best time for you and you need something you can take with you on your commute, a great classic breakfast sandwich is a great option. Grab some of that fresh bread in the pantry, cook an egg and a big of bacon, put it all together and away you go. Another great way to warm up and travel is with a buttermilk biscuit and some gravy - however probably best enjoyed if you can travel without spilling.
If these ideas are all sounding delicious but you just don't have the time in the morning, or if you're just looking for a break, speak with Great Harvest, Butte, WA on (406) 723-4988 and let us take care of breakfast for you and your family.

When you walk through the door, one of the first things you'll notice is that the organisation is full of talented people. Not just in the fields of medicine, nursing or diagnostics but in every part of the organisation. Professional and committed people who are all working together in an open and supportive culture.
We don't just look at you for who you are now; we look at you for who you could be in the future. We take training seriously, and encourage you to do the same. We want staff to develop their capabilities to the full with a range of learning and development opportunities.
To enable the Trust and its employees to exceed expectations and to achieve corporate and service aims and objectives, we need to recruit, develop and retain skilled and motivated people through effective people management and development, leading to a high performance culture.
In November 2018, the Trust received a prestigious HSJ award for 'Creating a Supportive Staff Culture'. This demonstrated positive culture change is happening throughout the organisation, and is much more than an 'initiative', it is the way we do things at ELHT. Engage to Make a Difference has enabled everyone at ELHT to play their part in the continually improvement of the Trust. And what's more our National Staff Survey results improve each year. We have above average scores for engagement, and are now in the top 20 percent of organisations on 16 key measures of staff satisfaction. Our own surveys have similar findings – 81 per cent of staff would now recommend the organisation for care and treatment, and 74 per cent recommend it as a place to work.

Q: Does a PropertyChangedEventHandler keep my custom control from being garbage collected? I am fairly new to WPF, and I wondered listening for property changes will keep my custom control from being garbage collected...
Essentially, I listen to events like this:
obj.PropertyChanged += this.The_PropertyChanged;

I am afraid that the control in which I execute the code not be able to be garbage collected while obj still exists, as obj.PropertyChanged holds a reference to this. Is this correct? If so, what is the correct way to avoid this? If I am informed correctly, there is no Dispose() method that could be overridden to be called when the Control is removed from the screen, so there is no obvious location to remove this.The_PropertyChanged from obj.PropertyChanged...

A: Yes, you are correct. obj will have a reference to "this" and therefore "this" will not get garbage collected.   The solution is:
obj.PropertyChanged -= this.The_PropertyChanged;

and you would place that code where "this" is Closed, Disposed, or else wise no longer going to be around.
So for the control, if the Window that hosts the control is closed that could be where you place the code.

Coast Guard: 2 more bodies found after Alaska planes crash
The Associated Press - By By RACHEL D'ORO and MARK THIESSEN - Associated Press
Emergency response crews transport an injured passenger to an ambulance at the George Inlet Lodge docks, Monday, May 13, 2019, in Ketchikan, Alaska. The passenger was from one of two sightseeing planes reported down in George Inlet early Monday afternoon and was dropped off by a U.S. Coast Guard 45-foot response boat.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The bodies of two more people have been found after small sightseeing planes crashed in Alaska, the Coast Guard says.
Coast Guard Lt. Brian Dykens said six people have died in the collision Monday afternoon near Ketchikan, a popular destination for cruise ships in Alaska. Dykens said his agency and the Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad found the two bodies near the crash site of the smaller plane involved in the collision, a single-engine de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver.
Ten people, all Americans, were injured, with three of them released from a hospital Tuesday. The missing passengers were from Canada and Australia, Princess Cruises said.
The Royal Princess, which can carry up to 3,600 people, was among four city-sized cruise ships in the tiny coastal community on Monday.
During port stops, visitors can shop in tourist stores or take part in several excursions, such as visiting an Alaska Native village, tour the backcountry, or visit a raptor center.
Another popular trip is flightseeing in Misty Fjords National Monument. Visitors marvel at the lakes, snowcapped peaks and glacier valleys in the wilderness area. Trips cost about $260 each.
The larger plane, a de Havilland Otter DHC-3 with 10 passengers and the pilot, was returning from Misty Fjords when it collided with a smaller sightseeing plane, a de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver carrying four passengers from the same cruise ship and a pilot.
The cause of the crash in relatively good weather, high overcast skies with light southeast winds was not known. The crash occurred about 8 miles (13 kilometers) from Ketchikan, near George Inlet. The planes came down about a mile and a half apart with some of the debris field on land.
The Otter, operated by Taquan Air, was initially traveling at an altitude of about 3,800 feet (1,158 meters), according to Peter Knudson, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, whose investigators arrived in Ketchikan Tuesday afternoon. He said the Otter had descended to an altitude of around 3,300 feet (over 1,000 meters) when it collided with the Beaver as both headed to Ketchikan.
The smaller plane was partially submerged in the shore of George Inlet after the single-engine plane overturned and hit some trees before crashing, according to Coast Guard Lt. Brian Dykens. The larger Otter landed in water and sank, he said.
Three of the four who died were among the five people aboard the Beaver, according to Coast Guard Lt. Brian Dykens. Princess Cruises in its release said two passengers and the pilot were among those killed in this plane.
Canadian officials said Tuesday that one of its citizens was among the dead. Global Affairs Canada expressed condolences but did not identify the person because of privacy reasons.
The smaller plane, which operated independently and not as an official excursion flight booked through the cruise ship, was owned by Mountain Air Service of Ketchikan, which didn't immediately return a call Tuesday.
The Beaver appears to have broken apart in midair, according to Jerry Kiffer, duty incident commander of the Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad. He said the plane's tail and section of the fuselage were 900 feet (275 meters) from the aircraft's floats, which landed near shore.
After the crash, the 10 injured people were initially taken to a hospital in Ketchikan. Four patients were later transferred to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, suffering various broken bones, spokeswoman Susan Gregg said.
Three survivors were released from PeaceHealth Ketchikan Medical Center in Ketchikan on Tuesday. Hospital spokeswoman Marty West says the remaining three are in fair condition.
Last summer, all 11 on board another Taquan Air flight survived when the 72-year-old pilot confused snow on a mountain with a body of water and crashed on a rocky mountainside on Prince of Wales Island near the southern tip of the Alaska Peninsula.
A pilot and eight cruise ship passengers died June 25, 2015, when a de Havilland DHC-3 Otter operated by Promech Air Inc. crashed into mountainous terrain about 24 miles (38 kilometers) from Ketchikan, also as it was returning from Misty Fjords.
The NTSB later determined that pilot error, the company's culture and lack of a formal safety program were among the causes of that crash. Taquan Air purchased the assets of Promech a year after the crash, and currently employs three pilots who worked for Promech, a company spokeswoman said.
The Royal Princess left Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 11 and was scheduled to arrive in Anchorage on Saturday.
"We are extending our full support to the investigating authorities as well as the traveling companions of the guests involved," the company said in a statement.
Associated Press journalists Martha Bellisle in Seattle, Rob Gillies in Toronto and Michelle A. Monroe in Phoenix contributed to this report.

Mental Health Awareness Week: Keeping your Employees Safe from Work-Related Stress
As we approach Mental Health Awareness Week (14 to 20 May 2018) employers should be well aware that stress in the workplace can contribute to mental health problems in and outside of work – and these health issues can be costly to your business as well as your people.
But how many employers think of mental health as a health & safety issue?
In November 2017 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) published figures showing 12.5 million working days were lost in 2016/17 as a result of work-related stress, depression or anxiety – an increase of over a million days on the previous year.
Estimates suggest that the cost of stress in the workplace to the UK economy is anywhere between £4bn and £100bn a year, a result of:
lost productivity
management time dealing with absences and performance
the cost of litigating on stress-related employment matters
The most common causes of work-related stress are workload pressures, too much responsibility, and a lack of managerial support, while professionals are almost four-times more likely to suffer work-related stress than those in skilled trades – and almost twice as likely as their bosses:
What are the numbers behind this trend?
The Labour Force Survey reported that, in 2016/17, there were 526,000 cases of work-related stress, depression or anxiety – an increase from the previous year's figure of 488,000.
This is more than 1.5 cases per 100 people, and the numbers have changed little over the last decade. Indeed, depression is now the third most common cause of ill health in the UK after neck and back pain and skin diseases.
With stress, anxiety and depression accounting for 40 per cent of all work-related illnesses and almost half of all workdays lost to ill health, clearly there is more that can be done to tackle work-related stress.
Presenteeism is a modern (and growing) part of the problem
In addition to absenteeism, presenteeism – where workers are in work when they shouldn't be – is also having a big impact on employee health, and employer profitability.
With presenteeism having tripled since 2010, mental health issues linked to it are thought to cost employers around £600 per employee per year, independent of any other costs associated with sickness.
Indeed, presenteeism can often lead to problems getting worse before employees seek help, leading to longer recuperation times as a result.
A management problem – especially with uncapped compensation when employers get their approach wrong
Mental health issues are obviously bad for the employee and the business, and they can also escalate into a grievance and discrimination claim if managed poorly.
While stress alone is unlikely to be a classed as a disability, employers should know that someone who appears to be stressed at work, is taking more time off work than usual, or whose behaviour has changed in the workplace may actually suffer from an underlying mental health problem – which could be a disability under the Equality Act.
If this is the case, a failure to tackle the problem by the employer risks a disability discrimination claim, and compensation in discrimination claims is uncapped. The potential additional costs to the business are significant.
Keeping your employees safe from mental health risks
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to undertake risk assessments, and this includes an assessment of the risk of employees suffering from work-related stress.
For a long time the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) left alone the management of stress and mental health, seeing it as more of a HR than H&S function.
But in March 2017 they launched a new strategy to tackle stress and mental health in the workplace, focused on identifying risk factors and preventing or reducing the likelihood of employees suffering work-related stress.
The HSE plan is to empower employers through support, guidance and training, rather than police positive mental health through enforcement action. However they are clear they are 'back in the game', with Inspectors looking for policies and procedures which effectively identify and reduce the likelihood of stress in the workplace.
What can be done to reduce stress at work and minimise the risk of discrimination?
Considers these five steps as a starting point for reducing the risk of work-related stress in your workplace:
Ensure that there are open lines of communication with employees who should be encouraged to raise issues with their line manager or HR in the first instance
Have an effective stress at work policy which details what an employee should do when suffering from stress and what sort of assistance is available. Confidential employee counselling services can be helpful
Provide training for managers on spotting the signs of stress at work and dealing with difficult conversations. Couple this with equality training to improve awareness of mental health and stress at work. Highlight the risks associated with performance managing and disciplining employees who exhibit signs of stress or other mental health problems
If a problem is raised and discussed, implement any necessary action points such as changing working responsibilities or providing additional supervision or training
Conduct risk assessments in relation to individual roles and workplace conditions to identify and reduce stress hazards at work

When filling out my taxes this year, I realized that I only had a one W-2 . . . . I'm used to 5 or 6. It was downright odd to see how much easier my taxes were.
I'd say I'm hoping that the change will work for you – both financially & emotionally . . . but I already know it will.
Good for you following your heart. If push comes to shove, I suppose you could always go back but hopefully you won't have to!

Recepteerkunde is het vakgebied waarin men leert hoe een medicijn bereid (gemaakt) dient te worden. Hierbij houdt men onder andere rekening met de volgende aspecten: rationaliteit van het recept, fysisch-chemische eigenschappen van het farmacon (geneeskrachtige stof), onverenigbaarheden (of twee stoffen in een preparaat geen reactie met elkaar aangaan), houdbaarheid, microbiologische zuiverheid (denk aan steriliteit van injecties en oogdruppels) en patiëntengemak.

Situatie in Nederland
Veel medicijnen kunnen in de apotheek bereid of aangepast worden. Het gaat dan vooral om dermatica, capsules, zetpillen en drankjes. In een apotheek van gemiddelde grootte worden ongeveer 6 preparaten per dag bereid, hiervan is de helft een dermaticum. Sommige preparaten vereisen speciale kennis en kunde. Deze worden dan in speciale bereidingsapotheken bereid, of in de apotheken van ziekenhuizen. In recente jaren besteden steeds meer apotheken de bereiding van geneesmiddelen uit vanwege de strenge eisen die worden gesteld aan de ruimte waarin men geneesmiddelen bereidt. Maar soms kan het noodzakelijk zijn dat in de apotheek een geneesmiddel met de hand gemaakt wordt. Hierbij kan men denken aan capsules of zetpillen met een geneesmiddel in een bepaalde sterkte, die niet in de handel verkrijgbaar is.

Local Business Watch: Summer in the Biz World
By Debbie Sklar | July 26, 2010
Summer is in full swing and even though most of us are at the beach, SeaWorld, or enjoying some outside activity, life goes on in the biz world. This has been a busy week too, from a local doctor winning a major award to William Shatner landing on the USS Midway for Comic Con, read on for all the details.
StageofLife.com
It's may be July but high school Language Arts teachers across the US are planning fall curriculum. On the first day of class, they will most likely confront three months worth of time their students spent addicted to "constricted writing environments" such as Facebook, Twitter, and mobile texting – mediums that confine the expression of ideas to a limited character count. By nature, this can lead to students throwing out proper grammar, sentence structure, and other traditional language skills needed for English class and the college application process. To address this trend, teachers are looking for innovative ideas to encourage their students to write more (not less) during the coming school year.
To help in this mission, StageofLife.com, a blogging and resource website for high school students, released its first installment of lesson plans for language arts teachers. The lesson plans provide writing prompts and describe methods for incorporating blogging into the curriculum for a real-world application to get students writing more outside the classroom.
One of the first strategies outlined in the blogging lesson plans talks about the use of the student writing contests to strengthen traditional language skills. For example, Laura Li, a student at Mt. Carmel High School in San Diego, was a finalist in a StageofLife.com teen writing contest themed around the environment – a timely topic stemming from the BP Oil Spill. She heard about the contest from her AP English Teacher,
"My teacher was talking to our class about small actions making big changes in the world. The next day she offered us an extra credit assignment, which was to submit an essay to the StageofLife.com student writing contest. And since I was also taking AP Environmental Science, I had a lot of knowledge of the environment and thought I would give it a try."
What makes this student writing contest unique, however, is that the entry process sets up each submission as a blog so other contestants and visitors may view, read and comment on the essay. The current writing contest dovetails off of the popularity of TV shows like NBC's Biggest Loser and best selling books such as Michael Pollan's Food Rules as it pushes students to examine America's relationship with food. The contest question asks, "Do we have an obligation to take better care of ourselves by making changes in the way we eat and/or buy and consume food?"
The winning student of the food essay contest receives a cash prize, website swag, and "Featured Blogger" status. Entry forms can be found on StageofLife.com. A new contest topic is posted at the beginning of each month.
Square ENIX, the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in North America, introduced a series of premium-quality action figures based on characters from HALO®: REACH. Developed exclusively for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft by acclaimed developer Bungie, HALO: REACH is the blockbuster prequel to the award winning HALO trilogy that will let players experience the fateful events that transpired on the planet Reach.
All the latest Square Enix products are on display at San Diego Comic-Con, which took place at the San Diego Convention Center from July 22-25.
The Vol. 1 action figures are scheduled for a Fall 2010 release, with Vol.2 slated for an early 2011 release.
"The Square Enix Merchandise Division is dedicated to creating collectible action figures that combine high production value and excellent articulation," said Kanji Tashiro, merchandise director of Square Enix, Inc. "The HALO series has captivated fans across the globe, and we are thrilled and honored to be making action figures for its latest entry. We're confident that even HALO fans that are not familiar with our products will be pleasantly surprised with what we have crafted."
Winning Doctor
The American Society of Hematology (ASH), the world's largest professional society of blood specialists, will honor six scientists who have made significant contributions to the understanding and treatment of hematologic diseases. These awards will be presented at the 52nd ASH Annual Meeting taking place December 4-7 in Orlando.
Sanford Shattil, MD, of the University of California – San Diego, will be presented with the 2010 Stratton Medal for his remarkable achievements in the area of platelet cell biology and signal transduction. Dr. Shattil led the way in defining the roles of numerous kinesis, scaffold proteins, small G-proteins, and exchange factors in outside-in integrin signaling platelets. He has often been the first to introduce cutting-edge approaches into the platelet field, including live cell imaging and pioneering the technique of deriving megakaryocytes from mouse bone marrow or human stem cells to use as a molecularly tractable model of platelet signaling.
ASH provides Blood: The Vital Connection (www.bloodthevitalconnection.org), a credible online resource addressing bleeding and clotting disorders, anemia, and cancer. The official journal of ASH is Blood (www.bloodjournal.org); the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field, which is available weekly in print and online.
Myouterspace.com, a new Social Network created for those passionate about Science Fiction, launched William Shatner, who soared over the San Diego Harbor in a helicopter, eventually landing on the deck of the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier during Comic Con. William Shatner's Myouterspace.com launch was on Friday, July 23.
"I am excited about the possibilities that are happening at Comic Con," said Shatner, host of Myouterspace.com. "The brand new platform for creativity in film, in gaming, and in animation is now coming alive on Myouterspace.com. With Tweet House on the USS Midway, and a great team of partners, can you get more with it?"
"The team at Myouterspace has worked extremely hard towards this exciting event," said Sammy Oriti, co-founder of Myouterspace.com. "Bill is an innovator; a truly incredible visionary and it will a great moment when he lands his helicopter on the flight deck. All I can say is that I have the coolest job in the world…I work with William Shatner in a Sci-Fi virtual universe!"

Drugstore have recorded with Radiohead's Thom Yorke and now they're playing their first gig North of Watford since 2002 in Hebden Bridge this Friday.
Led by Brazilian singer-songwriter and bassist Isabel Monteiro they played at a protest in London which called for the extradition of the disgraced Chilean General Augusto Pinochet. Their song "El President", a duet Thom Yorke, is dedicated to former Chilean president Salvador Allende who was killed in a 1973 coup in which Pinochet played a key role.
Drugstore have toured with the Jesus & Mary Chain, Tindersticks, and had their songs covered by Jeff Buckley. Now after a seven year hiatus, and following a sold-out show at the ICA in London, Drugstore return with an exclusive Yorkshire show at Hebden Bridge's Trades Club.
The band spent three weeks in January 2011, at a remote studio recording material for a comeback album, Anatomy, which was released last summer.

Because of a friend, life is a little stronger, fuller, more gracious thing for the friend's existence, whether he be near or far. If the friend is close at hand, that is best; but if he is far away he still is there to think of, to wonder about, to hear from, to write to, to share life and experience with, to serve, to honor, to admire, to love.
We have begun our year-end fundraising efforts, where we invite our readers to participate in supporting this ministry financially. In preparation of our next year, we would so value and appreciate your prayers and your donations, as we seek to expand and strengthen our ministry as we go forward together. Thank you!


"Legian is on the south west coast of Bali, in between Kuta and Seminyak. It is quite a condensed area of Bali with very little trees or gardens on the streets. In resorts, hotels, residences, etc, there is still a lot of greenery to enjoy. Legian is very popular with travelling families of multiple generations. It is not uncommon to meet an Australian extended family of ten hogging the pool bar drinking Bundy and Coke with a chaser of Bintang."
Legian is a coastal town with a beautiful beach in South Bali, north of Kuta and south of Seminyak.
Legian beach stretches from Jalan Melasti (where Kuta ends Map} to Jalan Arjuna (Seminyak begins on the map). Jalan Arjuna is also known as Jalan Double Six.
Most of the popular hotels in Legian are located at or near the beach. The town of Legian is no bigger than a few blocks in a big city, but despite its small size visitors are very happy to spend their holiday here, because of the beautiful beach and many hotels in the middle category.
The southern part of Legian, close to Kuta, has also bars and shops just like in Kuta. It is simply very close to Kuta, but Legian is less crowded and chaotic. It is a easy neighbourhood, where you still can enjoy the low prices. The northern part of Legian is bordering Seminyak. It's much more quiet and it's also a popular surfing beach.
The most popular beach in Legian Beach is at the end of Jalan Padma, and it's also called Padma Beach. It is much more quiet than Kuta. It has a better and less crowded surf break, and it's the field of many, great beer vendors who sit under umbrellas on the beach. It is easy parking.
There is a long north-south road between along the beach, between the various hotels. When a ceremony is held, than the road is only open to cars. Normally it is a well paved footpath and it is an excellent trail, so pedestrians can make an easy walk along the beach. You are also run over by restaurants, bars and nightclubs, especially near the beach at Double Six.
The main road of Jalan Legian which is very busy and there may be traffic jams. All roads to the beach are more or less straight to Jalan Legian. At the beach are boogie boards and surf boards for rent. If you rent one, make for a good price: bargaining! You can also take lessons at one of the surf schools.
On Saturday and Sunday, the beach is full of locals, tourists and expats. There are braziers on the beach and musicians are jamming. You are more than welcome to join them.
You can have a beer or a soft drink on the beach or buy a nasi goreng at one of the "Outdoor Warungs". The Warungs close around sunset. The sunsets can be spectacular and the locals are very friendly. In front of the Legian Beach Hotel, is "Rico's" recommended. After sunset, the mosquitoes start stabbing.
If you just want to lay down on the beach you can hire sunbeds. Make sure that you're not in the sun too long. There are a lot of tourists too badly burned. The locals will come, wisely, late in the afternoon to the beach. On the way to the beach, many people strolling and there are also many restaurants.
Legian is packed full of shops, selling everything from the latest designer clothes to surf clothing and Balinese souvenirs to take home with. This is a shopping area. You find them in Jalan Melasti, Jalan Padma, Werkudara Jalan Jalan Arjuna, who are all running straight from Jalan Legian to the beach. Jalan Padma is known for the beads, the shell-work and other similar trinkets. In Jalan Arjuna you find small shops that sell sarongs and fabrics. On Jalan Legian, there are the slightly more exclusive boutiques with the ubiquitous surf clothing and sportswear stores (although you can find in the larger neighbouring Kuta).
Very interesting is also a walk or a boat trip under the guidance of a knowledgeable guide along the mangrove forests of Sanur. Especially in the morning, you see a lot of birds and learn about this special ecosystem, which is a breeding ground for many fish, shrimp, crabs and birds.
There are two markets on Jalan Melasti. That's close to the beach. It is a great art market that sells Balinese handicrafts and other souvenirs for tourists. Here you can easily buy your souvenirs to take back home. On Jalan Sri Wijaya, there is a morning fresh market, which already opens at 5:00. Another nearest fresh market is in Seminyak, Jalan Sri Rama.
Sanur is very easily accessible by bus from many tourist locations like Denpasar, Ubud, Lovina and Kuta. In addition to the standard buses of the company Perama, which offers the most bus rides on the island, it is also possible to book a private shuttle bus to Legian.
Built in 2013, Siesta Legian Hotel is a distinct addition to Bali and a smart choice for travelers. Only away, this 3-star hotel can be easily accessed from the airport. With its convenient location, the hotel offers easy access to the city's must-see destinations.
The facilities and services provided by Siesta Legian Hotel ensure a pleasant stay for guests. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in all rooms, 24-hour security, daily housekeeping, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage to ensure our guests the greatest comfort.
Guests can choose from 119 rooms, all of which exude an atmosphere of total peace and harmony. The hotel offers many unique recreational opportunities such as spa, massage, kids club, pool (kids). Whatever your reason for visiting Bali, the Siesta Legian Hotel is the perfect venue for an exhilarating and exciting break away.


This is the first photo that I have of myself fishing. The fish was actually frozen stiff, but I didn't really care, I wanted a picture with my fish. My grandmother had dinner ready so we put it in the freezer for just a minute and well…hours later we remembered him! It's one of my favorite photos! The year was…ummm… a few years ago and I was about six. I was spending the summer with my grandparents down in Venice. My family moved to Sarasota, Florida and my grandparents lived close, so I would go stay with them during the summer while not in school. I spent most every summer down there until I was about 11 years old. Sometimes my three older sisters would be there or maybe it was just my cousin Christopher and I. Those summers we spent down there were some of the best summers of my life… but I forgot how great they were and how happy I really was.
Back in the 70's…giving my age away… both of my parents were working a lot. I had older sisters who would watch me most of the time, but to go to my Grandparent's house, that was the best!! They lived in a mobile home park, which to this day is still one of the nicest I've ever seen. They had two clubhouses with huge pools and many lakes. I would be lying if I said it was the most boring place for a six year old. Oh and I got to drive golf carts around everywhere, it was awesome! They had pairs of swans that patrolled the lakes they were super scary and they chased me home a lot, but it was still fun.
My grandfather, I believe, was one of the most patient men that had ever walked the face of this Earth. He had 4 granddaughters and 3 grandsons and we all wanted to fish. He taught his daughters and all of his grandchildren, because he knew we would love it as much as he did. He spent most of his time putting bobbers and hooks back on our poles after breaking our lines that were always horribly stuck in the rocks at the Venice Jetties. I don't believe that I actually ever remember him fishing at all. He was always helping us and there were so many of us! He would go from one to the other and never stop the entire time we fished. We were very high maintenance, it's a miracle he lived to 99…we must have really kept him in shape!
Most of the time I would fish in the lakes at the park. They had a beautiful clubhouse with a porch overlooking the lake with big wooden rocking chairs. I would gather a bag of old bread and a couple of hot dogs, and head over to the clubhouse porch to fish every day! They had thousands of blue gill that could easily be caught by balling up a piece of bread or ripping off a piece of hot dog. You would carefully put it on the hook and lower it into the water. Hopefully it stayed on long enough for a fish to get it and if you mastered the art of bread balls…you could pull up fish every minute, all day! They would feed like piranhas! Not much sport in it, but could be very competitive when seeing who could catch the most or the biggest.
Now the biggest fish in the lake were the bass, but the biggest was this one large mouth bass, "Big Daddy Bass." He was a mythical creature that others spoke of, but few actually ever saw. In my years of fishing there, I saw him maybe five times and I caught him once! He was too heavy and broke the line, but it was an awesome day!! I loved fishing and it was hard to keep me away from the water back then. I don't know really know what happened to me, but I guess I just discovered horses and boys, which left no time to fish.
As I look back, there was never a time where I loved living in Florida, I've always wanted to move to the mountains and be near lakes. I've truly hated living in Florida and as I grew older, I never went to the beach and definitely would not go in the water or fish. If it was a holiday that my big, crazy, awesome family would spent out at the beach I would go. I might fish, but it was just to pass the time, no real enjoyment. Then in March of this year I was contacted about a Heroes on the Water event at Robinson Preserve in Bradenton. They offered to take my family and I out in kayaks to fish for no cost, since I was an Army Veteran. Not many fish were caught, but I caught the fishing bug that day…my love of fishing returned and what happened next would change everything!
Shortly after that, I had decided to have a tumor in my neck/head surgically removed. I had ignored it for a few years, for the fear of having partial facial paralysis. I was having problems that left me no choice but to remove it. We tried to biopsy the tumor, but it was in such a tight area, they couldn't get a good sample. So going in to this surgery, we had no idea if it was cancerous or not. I was under a great amount of stress from my job and my doctor said there would have to be changes made in my career and a lifestyle change with more fun and less stress! I spent every moment like it was my last, I fished a lot with my younger son and then I went in for the surgery. Praise Jesus that it was not cancerous! I realized there were many changes I would have to make in my life. When I was recovering, I realized how much I had truly missed fishing all of these years. I realized how much I LOVE where I have lived for almost 40 years. I realized that I have not been living, just going through the motions and I was ready to start the life I owed myself, my husband and my children. I was ready for joy, laughter, contentment and peace with who I am. For anyone praying for God to change a family member or friend's heart…I'm proof! He completely changed my heart…it took 40 years, but it can be done, please don't lose hope!
I know this was a long story, but I felt the need to bring you up to speed, to how I got here and why I've turned a photography blog into a fishing & lifestyle blog. I've been fishing non-stop since I recovered from my surgery back in May. I've searched for 2 months for the elusive redfish and finally caught one! I will have to tell that story another time, but know that it's my favorite fish, so strong and gentle all at the same time! Don't get me started on how beautiful they are! I try to fish 3-5 times a week and it still seems like I want to do more. When my son is tired and wants to quit…I'm just getting started. I would love to fish professionally one day, hopefully before I'm 60 or I won't be able to get the fish in the kayak! I fish by kayak when weather permits, but it's summer and highly unpredictable like a toddler. So lately, it's been pier fishing, which is not my favorite, but please know how grateful I am to just be fishing, to be alive and to spend time with my husband and kids! Someday I'd like to have a small boat, maybe I'll win one…maybe I won't…but it won't matter either way…because I'll still be fishing! If you ever want to fish, I'd love to go! If you don't know how to fish, I'll teach you everything I know, which honestly isn't a lot, but I'll make sure we have some fun. If you know a lot about fishing, I'd love to learn anything you are willing to share.
Next Post If you focus too hard on the prize, you might miss the beauty of the journey!


A Son-Rise practice that has helped me a lot!
Example: I know whenever I take my daughter, Amor, to the grocery, I know there might be struggles like her insisting to buy junk food or wandering off to the rides instead of going to the grocery. I would really like that she follows my instructions all the time.
Before I found Son-Rise, whenever Amor wandered off, I used to use a stern voice to make her follow me. That worked initially but in the long run, she became a more irritable child and harder to control. I, on the other became so much more frustrated and started to over disciple her. I was disregarding that her misbehavior was brought about by her sensory problems and not intentional. I felt like a terrible parent, unable to make Amor follow simple instructions.
After learning Son-Rise: before we're off to the grocery, when she puts on her shoes upon request, I celebrate, "Wow! Thank you for putting on your shoes, you're so good at following Mama's instructions!" She smiles and I know that reinforces her good behavior. Throughout our grocery "outing" I look for every little thing to praise her like: thank you for waiting so nicely for the elevator, thank you you're holding Mama's hand while crossing the road you're such a good girl, etc.
I spend a lot of time looking for good behaviors to praise and end up never needing to reprimand or pull a crying-child-who-wants-playground-time home.
More importantly, that feeling that I will get a heart attack because I'm so frustrated that I'm such a bad parent…all gone.

The 3DS MMO will require you to be online in order to play.
While Dragon Quest fans continue to await news regarding an international release of the latest game in the series, Dragon Quest X, Square Enix has announced that the MMO is coming to a new platform in Japan later this year. The newly announced 3DS version is set for release in September, and to make it possible, the game will run using a streaming system.
Similar to the Android version that's already available, you'll have to be connected to the Internet with your system in order to play. As the vast majority of the game already requires an online connection, this is not as much of an impediment as it might seem at first blush. One of the upsides to this system is the fact that players will be able to play alongside those playing on other platforms, including Wii, Wii U, and PC. This also means 3DS owners should expect a relatively comparable experience (screen size aside), although the game's use of the touchscreen is, shall we say, underwhelming.
Like other versions of the game, DQX on 3DS still requires a subscription fee in order to play. The 3DS version being released on September 4 will retail for 3,800 yen (about $37) and includes some in-game items and 60 days of free play time. Once you've used that up, you'll have to purchase continued access in the form of a 3-day pass (350 yen, or $3.50), 10-day pass (650 yen, or $6.50), or 30-day pass (1,500 yen, or $15).
There is still no official word on DQX ever making it out of Japan, where it was originally released in 2012 on Wii. (We're still waiting on an international release of Dragon Quest VII on 3DS, too.) Earlier this year, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii revealed that the next game in the series is in development, though he didn't say whether that would be Dragon Quest XI or a spin-off or some sort.
Are you still interested in DQX, or after such a long wait, do you no longer care if it's ever released internationally? Let us know in the comments.
What is this MMO cancer? If i wanted MMO i would play WOW. When i go for Dragon Quest i want a traditional rpg with great story and characters. I...just don't get this anymore. I'm out. I'd rather play the older titles. This made me really sad.
Lost some interest after seeing the online requirement, lost the rest after reading the monthly charge.
They can go f off with this kind of rip-off subscription fee just to play one single game.
3DS is my solution to two hours on the bus everyday between home and work. WTH sort of sense does "always online" make on a portable device that only supports wi-fi?
I picked up DQ9 Sentinels the other day and I can say unequivocally that it is hands down one of the best RPGs I have played in a long time. Although I'm unsure about the $15/month sub fee !? wtf !
Please sign this petition to Square Enix to bring more Dragon Quest to North America and Europe.
I initially bought the Wii in hopes of this game!!! The solo DQ game sucked for Wii!!! I want this game, but on Wii U now....3DS would be fine as well.
announce a console dragon quest dammit -.- I think it's about time we get a console successor.
Only in japan will you find an always online mmo on a handheld.
Its not like there are tons of sp rpgs anymore why cant we get a new dq single player rpg like dragon quest 8? No one wants an mmo except them because it costs way more money.
DQ9 for the DS was one of the best games I've ever played. I really hope they make a new traditional DQ and bring it state-side.
Well looks like I'll be passing on this. I wanted to get into these games, but this will make me look elsewhere. It would have been nice to see a regular rpg game, instead of a mmo.
<< LINK REMOVED >> Its ok kiten. you can play it just like a regular RPG game, its different from the mmos your used to seeing. Just read what I said in my large comment above, and look more into the game like most people fail to do before criticizing it.
@kitty Don't worry. You would have been passing anyway unless you lived in Japan. DQ is quickly becoming a Japan-only series despite it having a good following in the West.
is he riding on a yellow slime segway?
I was really excited for the Wii U hd version I have seen trailers of over a year ago. The Wii U version is amazing looking and it never made it here. I would gladly buy and play the Wii U version for many hours but my interest has lowered because I do not want to face the dissapointment that it probably will never make its way to the US.
"The 3DS MMO will require you to be online in order to play."
I didn't even know DQX was a MMO till i saw this news feed, I was like "Yesssss a MMO for my 3DS and guess what Jason... its not free" lol.
what's the difference between an MMORPG and traditional RPG? one is an infinite grind fest that take you nowhere while the other one is fun.
<< LINK REMOVED >> Supposedly DQX is supposed to be very different from most MMORPGs. They developed the game so that it can be completed single-player and they even have a server dedicated for single-player run-throughs. From the sound of it, it really shouldn't be a grind fest.
A MMO requiring an online connection? WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?!!!
<< LINK REMOVED >> Next thing you know they'll be telling us people die when they are killed.
<< LINK REMOVED >> Its good, you just dont know anything about it.
So having to be online for a MMO is news these days?
I really wish they'd stop messing up this franchise and begin production on a DQVIII HD Remaster for all current gen consoles then move onto making DQXI and stop making it Nintendo exclusive.
<< LINK REMOVED >> Indeed. Dragon Quest 8 is the last turn-based rpg I truly enjoyed.
<< LINK REMOVED >> Or making it a MMO, Dragon Quest has always been a turn based rpg.
I got excited when I saw Dragon Quest X, and when I saw MMO, I went back to normal.
This news is completely useless on an english speaking site. The fact that there isn't any word on an international version even on pc means this article means nothing to those who cannot read japanese.

June Retail Sales Beat Forecasts
PRESS RELEASES | Published Jul 16, 2019
Retail sales were up 0.6 percent in June seasonally adjusted from May and up 2.3 percent unadjusted year-over-year, the National Retail Federation said today. The numbers exclude automobile dealers, gasoline stations and restaurants.
"These are impressive results showing that the consumer remains engaged and that consumer spending gave a boost to the economy in the second quarter," NRF Chief Economic Jack Kleinhenz said. "The numbers are consistent with elevated consumer sentiment, healthy household balance sheets, low inflation and wage and job gains. The year-over-year growth is particularly significant given that it comes on top of strong gains at this time last year. While the prospect of tariff increases has subsided for the moment, trade uncertainties continue to weigh on the long-term outlook."
As of June, the three-month moving average was up 3.7 percent over the same period a year ago, compared with 3.3 percent in May. June's results build on gains of 0.4 percent month-over-month and 2.9 percent year-over-year seen in May.
NRF's numbers are based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, which said today that overall June sales – including auto dealers, gas stations and restaurants – were up 0.4 percent seasonally adjusted from May and up 3.4 percent unadjusted year-over-year.
Specifics from key retail sectors during June include:
Online and other non-store sales were up 11.6 percent year-over-year and up 1.7 percent month-over-month seasonally adjusted.
Health and personal care stores were up 3.4 percent year-over-year and up 0.5 percent month-over-month seasonally adjusted.
General merchandise stores were up 2.3 percent year-over-year and up 0.2 percent month-over-month seasonally adjusted.
Grocery and beverage stores were up 2.1 percent year-over-year and up 0.5 percent month-over-month seasonally adjusted.
Clothing and clothing accessory stores were down 1.6 percent year-over-year but up 0.5 percent month-over-month seasonally adjusted.
Furniture and home furnishings stores were down 1.7 percent year-over-year but up 0.5 percent month-over-month seasonally adjusted.
Building materials and garden supply stores were down 4.7 percent year-over-year but up 0.5 percent month-over-month seasonally adjusted.
Sporting goods stores were down 5.3 percent year-over-year and unchanged month-over-month seasonally adjusted.
