All divorces, civilian or military, are equally painful. Author Michael Mason, a veteran of the United States Army, went through a divorce and custody dispute for his young child. His painful experience thoroughly covers various issues and provides insightful answers based on his personal experience. This book provides an alternative, unique, aggressive and detailed approach to today's many uncertainties surrounding divorces in order to help readers navigate a divorce case and maintaining custody of your child(ren). The book emphasizes the importance of documenting every aspect of your deteriorating relationship from the beginning to the end. From choosing a divorce lawyer to to utilizing a private investigator, Mr. Mason's battle tested advice in dealing with a divorce is refreshing. Almost 30,000 military marriages resulted in divorces in 2011 according to a USA Today report quoting Pentagon data. Military couples face a variety of challenges stemming from constant deployments. Despite various work-shops and marriage counseling to improve marriages, the divorce rate in the military has steadily increased over the last ten years. This book is not intended to encourage divorce but to help win a divorce once you are inevitably in it. Just like war, divorce must be avoided at all cost. But, when it happens, one must win. If you are dealing with the stress of a deteriorating relationship, child's welfare, unknown legal procedures, you might want to take a look at Mr. Mason's advice.

The Bedtime Book with No Story: The Only Bedtime Book in the World with No Story is the brainchild of Michael Mason. Inside, it works on how your child is wired. This is the only book of it's kind that doesn't make your child fall asleep with a story. Instead, it empowers them to make themselves fall asleep simply by exploring their imagination. This underlying skill of learning boosts your child's brain powers. This small black book is a gateway book to a series of smart books that are not taught in school or anywhere else. In a sea of thousands of story books, read a book that doesn't have one.

Drug delivery refers to the process or method of providing a pharmaceutical substance to a human or animal for obtaining a therapeutic effect. Nanomaterials are frequently utilized in pharmaceuticals and medicine due to their unique optical, mechanical and electrical properties. They are also used for developing novel therapeutics, detecting biological molecules and imaging of sick tissues. Emerging technologies such as MEMS, 3DP and MF have been studied for the production of diagnostics or drug delivery systems. These technologies have the potential to fight pandemics by offering a preventive, predictive and personalized (3P) medical approach. New technologies allow for the creation of devices that are simpler to use, which can monitor or diagnose a condition quickly, as well as control the release of biologics or drug molecules. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the emerging materials and technologies in drug delivery. It provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of the recent studies in this field. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective in this area of pharmaceutical science.

Drug delivery refers to the formulations, storage systems, methods, production processes and technologies used to transport a pharmaceutical compound to its target site for achieving intended therapeutic effect. It aims to change the specificity and pharmacokinetics of the drug by combining it with various drug carriers, excipients and medical devices. The synthesis and design of effective drug delivery systems (DDS) is critical for healthcare and medicine. Nanotechnology and materials innovation are utilized together for making improvements in drug delivery. Liposomes, hydrogels, micelles and thin films with distinct biological and mechanical properties are used as carriers in novel drug delivery systems. Poly glycol acid (PGA) and their copolymers, poly lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) as well as poly lactic acid (PLA) are some of the materials most frequently utilized in DDS development due to their properties of biocompatibility, biodegradability and ease of processing. This book provides comprehensive insights into materials design and clinical perspectives in drug delivery. Its extensive content provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

A blockbuster collection of longform reporting, A Voice Was Sounding Vol. 3 represents many of the notable works that helped This Land magazine achieve an international reputation for uncommonly well-crafted, award-winning articles. At times packed with tension and suspense, at other times courting the bizarre and clandestine, these stories represent impeccable work from some of Middle America's most talented writers and reveal the strong heart pulsing at the center of the country.

Nanofibres are fibres that measure a billionth of a metre. They have different properties and applications since they are generated from different polymers. Nanomedicine is a branch of medicine that applies nanotechnology to the field of medicine. The applications range from preventing diseases to imaging, diagnosing, monitoring, treating, and regenerating biological systems. The usage of nanofibres in drug delivery significantly lowers the overall drug consumption and reduces the side-effects, and thereby decreases the treatment expenses. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to nanomedicine. The various advancements in drug delivery using nanotechnology are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
