Dale Gerke obtained his first University degree in Dentistry, followed by a Science Honours degree in Oral Biology. Several years later he obtained his PhD in Pharmacology and thus started his long and distinguished involvement in scientific and clinical research (he has numerous scientific publications to his name). After ten years running several successful dental practices, he completed his specialist degree in Prosthodontics and was also admitted to the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons as a Fellow in Operative Dentistry and later also as a Member in Prosthodontics. In 1974, he published the results of a medical clinical trial he conducted which investigated the interactions of the multitude of drugs being prescribed to patients in a large public hospital. As a result of this study, he began to realise that pharmaceutical drugs were not necessarily the ideal treatment for many in the population. In the late 1970s, he published many more scientific and medical results relating to interactions between various drugs and the vascular system. Following these studies, he realised that some drugs acted synergistically together with other drugs to potentiate (magnify) the effect of each individual drug. This warned him to be aware of possible unexpected actions some drugs/ingredients have.

Originally posted by realanswersI do agree that the smokers should have enough time to quit, but they don't need to smoke indoors. There is a lot of harmful things out there that affect health, but it's the smoking that envolves one person harming another person.
If you do it away from people, it is only considered a type of long term suicide. But, if you do it around people, then it should be considered to be breaking a number of laws with the most severve being murder. We aren't even talking about the impact in human evolution and the environment.
How illogical can people get as to think that causing health problems and deaths are none of those people's business?

Tera To Utilize Player-driven Politics
Mandifesto and myself were given a real treat when we stopped by En Masse's booth at E3 today: Being able to get a sneak peek at Tera, the new MMORPG that seeks to break the point-and-click mold that games in the same genre have fallen into, we were actually given some never-before-released info on one of the more intriguing player-driven systems set in place within the game: politics.
Yes, much like in the real world, players can actually run to become the big cheese of their city. There are actually two ways of achieving this position. The first is a more traditional method: get yourself voted into office. This can be done through a majority of ways, but all of them involve promoting yourself as a public figure among the masses. Players are actually free to promote themselves

Holy cow, today's been a crazy one right from the get-go. E3 was the place to be for everyone that has a passion for video games, and with this being my first time coming to such a pretigious event, I knew I had to get some pictures in. And I'm sharing some of my haul with all of you fine people. The quality is a bit lacking for some of these (particularly the Nintendo conference photos, since flash photography wasn't allowed), but for those who weren't able to make the event in person, they should give you a good idea as to just how awesome it actually is to be there.
Check out all the shots after the break, and be sure to check back tomorrow, as I'm sure I'll have another batch ready to go. Those with slow connections, consider yourselves warned, as there's a lot of stuff her
Atari Announces Witcher 2 For Xbox 360

EA Selling Ultima IV For Free
Remember all the way back in March when Electronic Arts decided to put a stop to numerous fan projects involving classic RPG title Ultima IV? Well, it seems that the company did in fact have plans for the game all along.
Coinciding with their launch of a new website heralding the legacy of the Ultima series (and additional Twitter account), EA has made the title a free download direct from the same website, and for the low, low price of free. The Ultima website itself will be growing in the future with more content pertaining to the history of the Ultima series. Along with this new development, GOG.com is celebrating having EA on as a new publisher by selling a bundle pack containing both Ultima Underworld 1 and 2.
All this should give RPG fans something to do over the weekend while waiting for E3 next week....
There's Way Too Much Stuff In The DFO Update To List Here
Nexon is making the upcoming update for Dungeon Fighter Online the biggest one yet, and they've already been off to a good start by announcing the Thief class and the removal of fatigue points. Now they're taking things further with today's announcement regarding Act X: Rebirth.
The main bombshell here is the raising of the level cap from 60 to 70, meaning more dungeon fighting to do. To coincide with this, the team is introducing a new town, called Bahn Hafen, as well as several new dungeons for players to hack their way through, all with unique bosses and new enemy types. These new dungeons will also be setting themselves apart from previous ones by having a new difficulty level, the Hero's Road.

In the PvP corner, they've added a new lobby system where players can chill at in between matches and chat with other participants, or trash talk with possible opponents. There's also a new battleground map, as well as a new game type called "Vanquish!" There's also been changes to changes to the rules and the fame system, along with new PvP gear available.

The good people behind Rift have put out a contest for aspiring artists in partnership with popular art website deviantArt, home of the largest collection of ludicrous and/or traumatizing Sonic the Hedgehog-related artworks. Trion is essentially asking you, the average Joe, to come up with their next boss idea for their successful MMO. The rules are fairly simple: the boss has to be of appropriate scale in relation to the game world (meaning really f-ing big), be aligned with one of the six planar themes (fire, water, earth, air, life, death), and, of course, be an original design (meaning not related to Sonic...
Square Enix To Announce (Another) New MMO Game
Despite all the troubles that Square Enix has been having with the MMO market, and especially with Final Fantasy XIV still on life support, one would think it ridiculous to have another MMO title in the works so soon. Well, SE apparently doesn't think in such a manner.
According to Andriasang, who translated the transcript from an earnings briefing held on May 13, CEO Yoichi Wada stated that they plan on revealing some information about a new MMO game that they've got in the works. Their long term plan is to apparently have multiple large-scale MMO titles running alongside each other at the same time, including FFXIV. The reasoning behind this tactic is to provide a reasonable income, most likely as a response to their current financial problems.

Persona 2 To Finally See NA Release
Persona 2: Innocent Sin , part of Atlus' Megaten series of RPG games, has thus far been the only title of the Persona line to have not seen a release outside of Japan. That's all about to change.
Earlier today, Atlus announced that the game that established Persona as a successful series is finally traveling across international waters this fall for the PSP. This isn't going to be just a simple port of the original game, though. This version of Persona 2 will be a complete remastering. While the game will still contain it's core mechanics such as demon recruiting, the game will have improved visuals, an option to choose between the newly remixed soundtrack or stick with the classic, new quests to undertake, and an improved interface.
The story follows a group of high school student

North American regionalism and global spread
Title: North American regionalism and global spread
Author: HUSSAIN, A. Imtiaz; DOMÍNGUEZ, Roberto
Date: 2015
Citation: New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2015
With Canada, Mexico, and the United States independently searching trade-agreements outside North America, this volume examines the puzzle if the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement was a means to other ends or an end in itself. A study of 20-years of NAFTA performances on trade, investment, intellectual property rights, dispute-settlement, as well as environmental and labor side-agreements confirms the means component of the equation. Couching this empirical dissonance within the integration-interdependence theoretical debate, permits us to propose the next research agenda: whether other regional economic arrangements also face the same NAFTA fate.

Though much of Venezuela is currently in a state of rationing electricity and drinking water, and the water levels "remain very critical" at the crucially important El Guri reservoir, Electric Energy Minister Luis Motta said recently that forecasts are "good, despite that fact that (we haven't had) rain for three days."
The severe fall in the reservoir's water level is illustrated in a series of photographs he posted on facebook while doing an aerial survey of the affected area. The most recent report was posted on Dateas.com, puts the water level at 242.07 meters above sea level, which puts it barely two meters over the lowest safe level for the dam's safe operation.
Venezuela is currently dealing with a serious drought brought about by El Niño says Adrian Jose Velasquez Figueroa, and was granted a light reprieve by some lucky heavy rainfall at the start of May. The country has made several attempts to alleviate its power needs by reducing hours for schools, shopping malls, and public offices, as well as encouraging business owners and residents whenever possible to find means to generate their own power.

Welcome! I'm Glad You're Here
Hi, my name is Nick True and I'm a True Tightwad. If you're new here you might be wondering what that means. I define a True Tightwad as:
Someone who puts off what they don't need now so that they can get what they truly want later.
There is a major difference between a Cheap person and a True Tightwad. A Cheap person refuses to pay money for a quality product and opts for lower quality that often ends up costing them more in the long run. A True Tightwad consciously chooses not to spend money on frivolous things so that they can easily afford what they really want. Being a True Tightwad has more to do with having the right mindset than anything else.
The Goal
My main goal is to help guide you on a journey towards financial freedom. Maybe that means getting out of debt. It could mean making more money. Or it might mean investing for your future. Whatever sort of financial freedom you seek, I am here to help you get there.
What Can You Expect?
I try to cover most topics that fall under the realm of personal finance. These topics include saving, getting out debt, investing, dealing with major purchases, insurance, giving, making more money, and planning for your future. Again I want to keep the goal in mind. Everything I talk about here is going to be pushing you towards financial freedom.
You can expect to get actionable content that will help you meet your goals. The content is designed to give you something that you can directly apply to your life. There are countless websites out there devoted to personal finance, and I don't want to waste your time with material that isn't helpful. So plan to make some changes. Plan to work hard. Plan to become free, because that's what it's all about.
If you would like to get updates right in your inbox whenever I release a new article, just sign up for the newsletter in the form below.
Some Fundamentals
Here at True Tightwad I like to define a few fundamental beliefs that shape all of the things I discuss. These are truths that I subscribe to and they'll help you understand what being a True Tightwad is all about.
- Personal finance is personal; while general statements can help the majority people, everyone's situation is unique and should be treated as such.
- Personal finance is not as difficult as most people think. Anyone who is willing to learn can take charge of their own finances.
- Frugality is not a bad thing. Being frugal helps people become free and live the life they dream about.
- Money has more to do with emotions than math. People aren't robots and most of the time their heart will speak louder than their mind.
Let's Get Started
So now that you know what it's all about, I hope that you'll join me on this journey towards financial freedom.
Here are a few posts to get you going.

The number of times the EarthTechling staff has shouted to one another across the bow of our impressive collection of yachts about needing to be more environmentally friendly is practically uncountable. We've seen several concepts that have made our monocles fog-up, one inspired by Audi, one that uses both wind and solar power, and one that was stylishly designed. But our vast blogging fortune has been wallet-heavy with dreams of hosting the world's first green yacht party, until now.
Thanks to the photovoltaic module company BISOL and the luxury boat manufacturer Seaway, we now have a chance to purchase our very own fleet of Greenline 33 yachts that are powered by a solar hybrid system. By jove, just take a gander at the ocean ready beauty in the photo below.
Not quite a solar boat, the Greenline 33 hybrid can only run in all-electric mode off of the solar power for a limited amount of time. the boat is capable of storing and using the sun's power. It is said that while the sun is shining, the boat can do up to three knots of speed without consuming the lithium battery pack. By consuming the battery, the boat can achieve 5.5 knots of speed on electric only. Range is 20 nautical miles at four knots of speed. Also, Seaway claims the unit burns four times less fossil fuel than comparable models, reducing pollutants by 75%. Good show, old chaps!
Currently, EarthTechling is hosting a drive to purchase a small army of the boats, which only cost around $170,000 a piece, for our previously stated green yacht party. Don't worry, you're invited. Simply email someone at this site with your donation and we'll work out arrangements for the guest list – black tie only, of course.

Car buyers needing auto financing may not qualify through a bank or standard auto loan company. That is where non-traditional loan companies can help.
How does auto financing work
Dealers sell their cars to individuals, or in some cases businesses. If the buyer does not have their financing worked out with their bank in advance, the dealer will help get financing set up. They bring in a third party to finance the car. Most dealerships will have several financial institutions working with them to set up the loans, and the loan company will give the dealership a percentage.
What the buyer needs to know
When buying a car, it is a good idea to get approved for a loan in advance if possible. Sometimes if a buyer has a low credit score or the buyer doesn't have a credit history yet, they may need a specialty loan company, such as Consumer Portfolio Services. Specialty loan companies will finance the car loan just as a brick and mortar bank, and will have convenient online payment capabilities. This is especially helpful for people needing help getting a car loan. If you can't get approved before going to look at cars, talk to the finance person at the dealership. They can work with you to help you get a loan so you can get behind the wheel. This is often the easiest way to get financing if you don't have much of a credit history, or have had credit issues in the past.
After the purchase
Many car dealerships will sell the car loan to a finance company. The finance company simply pays the dealership an agreed amount, then takes on the loan. This usually has no impact on the buyer, other than changing where to send the payments. This is a normal business practice, and allows the dealership to focus on car sales, and not financing loans. Loan companies can also help the buyer with any questions about their loan, the value of the vehicle, payoff information and other related questions. Reputable loan companies will work hand in hand with a dealership to help put buyers in a car. If you are thinking about buying a car but not sure you will qualify, it never hurts to ask.

It's challenging to explain to people in my family what I do for a living.
God love 'em, they do keep trying to understand.
Conversations about healthcare innovation and reform range from the dangers that result from penultimate our fear of dying (with grandmother Muz) to the dangerous spending patterns of our nation as a whole.
My sister Kate is now fond of saying: "Hey Jenny, can you hurry up and save healthcare already?" or, alternately, "Jen - Who killed healthcare?"
Recently several folks in my family joined Twitter to track work/life escapades, and communicate where we are (no matter where in the world we've landed) on any given Sunday.
Although I've found tweeting excrutiatingly valuable for work, I didn't expect family presence on Twitter to demonstrate professional relevance quite so quickly
After HealthCampPhilly (Saturday), my mom (@susanmccabe), who is a behavioral health nurse (going on +10 years now), saw a tweet I posted about 'cure' vs. 'heal.'
She left me this note in response:
"A cure is an expected, narrowly defined destination. Healing is a journey with unexpected twists and turns.
For a cure, the provider's role is pass or fail.
As a part of healing, the caregiver accompanies the patient on their journey, meeting them where they are at any given time, and having a supportive role even to the end.
There's always hope for healing."
-Susan McCabe, RN, 3.29.09
Do you see a doctor, go to a hospital, because you expect to be CURED or because you hope to HEAL?
My belief? A 'cure' happens to you. But healing is a process in which you, the person-who-is-also-a-patient, are the primary participant.
Yeah. This is all just wordplay.
But language matters, especially when we're talking about the little things like, oh, life and death. Healing and hope.
Which process, curing or healing (both? neither?), do you feel is within your scope of control to manage?
Or do you feel locked out of participation in either?

Souls / Incarnation / Afterlife
I want to touch on something that I have had a few requests for:
Q. If a soul reincarnates are they still capable of being reached by a medium?
A. What I have seen is that some souls reincarnate quickly, and other wait many earth years before doing so. If someone has passed and have not reincarnated, they are easier to reach. Having said that, even if a soul has not reincarnated there is no guarantee that a soul can be reached on command.
Some souls with an unsaid message will seek out a medium like a beacon to convey something (I get this image of someone frustrated and lost) because they have no other way to communicate, or else they way they are communicating (I see lights flickering or something happening to a web page) isn't being received. These souls are the easiest to reach because they want to be reached and heard. I also see these type of souls as persistent, and don't give up easily. (I had a scenario that is popping up in my mind as I type this of a neighbor I don't speak with often, her husband passed away. At night when I would go to sleep he was there in my mind. He gave me random images (like a bouquet of purple spring flowers, and wouldn't let me go to sleep until I agreed to relay this message to my neighbor. It was a little uncomfortable to approach her, but I had an ethical obligation to do so. In the end she told me that those flowers were the flowers in their wedding and it all made sense. Once I relayed the message all all the images, the gentleman that had passed was able to be at peace.) Time is all relative, and when you pass I see that what may seem like years for us, in the bigger reality is just a blip.
The following are souls that I believe are more difficult to contact because they don't want contacted or heard:.
Some souls just want to hang out. They have no real message, they just aren't ready to incarnate. They have no real message or agenda, they are just in a limbo state. Most souls are harmless, but if a soul should becomes bothersome (preventing sleep, disrupting your house, causing fear) they can be nudged to move on or at the least leave your home. The power of human intent in our physical form is very strong. If that still doesn't work, then you may need to call upon someone that specializes in this area (I see this as possible but pretty rare.)
The next thing I hear is that "Universal energy is not created or destroyed, just shifted somewhere else" meaning to me that regardless of where the soul is in the incarnation process, it is still part of the universal whole.
When a soul has incarnated the picture I see is a body floating upwards and waving and they take on a transparent appearance. I usually will get an emotion by their appearance or their final thoughts as they were going to their next journey, but it is difficult to have a "conversation" with them. If I am able to get a connection, it is usually something very brief.
Q. What do souls do in the afterlife?
A. Some souls incarnate quickly, and others wait until it is the "right time." Then I see an image of a soul (looks like a ball of white light/energy) waiting and jumping into a woman who at that exact time conceived. As if the child she was having was meant to have this specific soul reincarnate and be born to her. I also keep hearing the message about time being relative and what we experience here is not the universal reality so you can't define this with our current concept of time.
Q. Are there different levels? Are there different beings that are non physical?
A. There are different levels, just as there are different types of people and animals, and they all have their place. Some souls are "old souls" and have a higher universal knowledge and carry a higher vibration. There may be younger souls, that have many lessons to learn and have a much lower vibration. There are also what is called entities that are extremely low vibration. I see souls advancing through incarnating and learning new lessons, increasing their vibration with each new set of experiences (both good and bad).
And that is all I have for now. Thank you. It is 6:31 AM.

True about great different time experience before and after being incarnate into the very body. I have a question how long does a soul reincarnate was given the ability to sense a higher vibration from certain people?
- March 12, 2014 at 12:21 PM
I think it depends on the individual soul (if I understand the question correctly you are asking how many times does a soul reincarnate before it can sense other vibrations from other living things). During some lives you can learn many lessons, and some are never entirely learned and you are forced to repeat a life cycle until you do develop an understanding. Free will can also alter how well you understand and how close you stay to your life path. I really believe that every soul is completely unique. Evolving spiritually (increasing vibrations and understanding vibrations) depends on how well you take your experiences, learn and grow. It takes a true sense of self [which will also allow us to understand others and try to view the world without judgments], and that is one of our ultimate goals to aid in spiritual growth.
- March 12, 2014 at 12:51 PM
Are you familiar with the "Law of One" (Ra Material)? If so do you believe this information is pretty accurate?
- March 12, 2014 at 1:52 PM
I have a question that I've been wondering about for a long time. Once we go to the other side, will we be smarter? For example, I have a hard time with the sciences; both with retention and figuring out concepts. Will we be able to remember facts better, and learn things faster?
Thank you!
- March 12, 2014 at 1:52 PM
@ 1:52 PM: I have not the whole thing (just quotes), but close friends of mine highly recommend it. It is on my list. The parts I have read do ring truth with me.
@ 1:52 PM: I see that your subconscious is smarter, but it looks to me that once you incarnate your conscious mind is wiped clean, allowing you to learn your next set of lessons fresh (that is why you may have dreams or phobias pull through a past life because they reside in your subconscious mind). You may learn concepts easier because you have learned them before, and you have the potential to supercede your past self. But I wouldn't say you are automatically smarter.
- March 12, 2014 at 3:00 PM
What happens when a soul has decided, or picked the parents, and something happens to the fetus, like a miscarriage or an abortion? Does that soul experience death in this human life? Or is it more like just going back to their pre-reincarnation state of being? Thank you for considering this question.
- March 13, 2014 at 8:52 PM
I am interested in the last question here....has not been answered, regarding..."what happens to a fetus once it is miscarried or aborted, etc...?"
Thank you in advance.
- April 6, 2014 at 7:21 AM
@ 8:52 PM: I see that an incomplete birth is the life path chosen, OR (and I feel stronger in this belief) that the fetus wasn't ready- something happened in the incarnation that just wasn't right. In both instances of abortion or miscarriage- it was the life path, and most likely the soul just wasn't ready and fate made that happen.
I actually had a miscarriage between my first and second child. I really believe that something with the soul wasn't right- like the birth order wasn't right for this soul to be on the right path. (I always intended to have 2 kids, but my higher self knew I would have 4). I really feel that when I look at my fourth child, it was the soul of my lost baby that came back to me. Many times when a miscarriage or abortion happens I see the soul coming back as another child, sister/brother, nephew/niece, etc- some way in that persons life.
