The first civilization of the Italian peninsula was the Etruscan civilization. It flourished from seventh to fourth century BC. The Etruscan influence started to weaken in the late fourth century BC due to a set of complex circumstances and their dispute with Rome. By the time of Julius Caesar, the Etruscan identity and language were almost completely erased. Who were the Etruscans? Why their language is seen as a language isolate, a non-Indo-European island in an Indo-European sea? There were many attempts to compare the Etruscan words with words from other languages but that path was abandoned by the end of the nineteenth century. The great Massimo Pallottino, the father of etruscology, openly doubted the etymological method while Giuliano and Larissa Bonfante, the authors of the most comprehensive book about the Etruscan language, saw no possible benefit in its use. The author of this book took the opposite path. He compared the Etruscan words with roots and words from another language and he used the etymological method. The results are very surprising.

Five year old Terrinee Gundy decided that she would steer clear of a life of excuses as she was hellbent on being nobody's victim. In The Daughter Of A Junkie: A True Love Story, Terrinee is shrill and transparent regarding all of the unpredictable dangers she finessed with a junkie for a daddy. As a memoir romanticizing the unparalleled moments of her family's struggles, Terrinee is unapologetic about her family's ghetto love story. Despite her daddy's drug addiction to crack cocaine for over forty years, Terrinee was relentless to defy the odds of a chaotic, dysfunctional environment flooded with drugs, poverty, racism, the police, and an ineffable amount of calamity.The Daughter Of A Junkie: A True Love Story narrates a first-hand account of an extraordinary young girl who escaped the ghetto trappings and trickery of the underserved and impoverished communities in which she lived. With sheer determination, Terrinee realized her childhood dream of becoming a lawyer and a judge. She takes you through the slums of the Deep South with near death, appalling experiences that started in kindergarten and continued to "The Promise Land" on the college campus of Clark Atlanta University.

The development and evaluation of a nanovesicular transdermal formulation of asenapine maleate, with the specific goal of targeting the brain. Asenapine maleate is a medication used for the treatment of certain neurological disorders, and the research aims to enhance its delivery to the brain through a novel transdermal approach.Nanovesicular transdermal formulations offer a promising means of drug delivery, as they can bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly target the brain tissues. This study involves the design and optimization of nanovesicular carriers to encapsulate asenapine maleate, enabling its efficient transport through the skin and into the brain.Researchers conduct thorough evaluations to assess the stability, drug release kinetics, and skin permeation capabilities of the nanovesicular formulation. Additionally, they investigate its safety and efficacy in animal models or potentially in clinical trials, exploring its potential for use as a non-invasive and patient-friendly alternative to conventional drug delivery methods.By successfully developing a nanovesicular transdermal formulation of asenapine maleate for brain targeting, this research could pave the way for significant advancements in treating neurological disorders. The findings have the potential to revolutionize drug delivery strategies, offering a more effective and convenient treatment approach for patients in need of brain-specific medications.

"A gripping cautionary tale about the dangers of mainstreaming fringe ideas before turning them into federal policy, We Want Them Infected is damning, indispensable, and one-of-a-kind. It is likely to become canonical." Christopher LaneWriter on Side Effects @PsychTodayMember, Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities>Praise For We Want Them InfectedOne of the untold stories of the COVID pandemic in the US is the role of medical and public health professionals in spreading disinformation, pushing for policies that exacerbate the virus' spread, and drive people away from important interventions, particularly vaccines, which blunt the deadly effects of SARSCOV2. Because of professional courtesy, solidarity or just sheer cowardice, many inside the professions have refused to take on these frauds, egomaniacs, purveyors of sickness and suffering in white coats. Jonathan Howard's book We Want Them Infected, though, names names. In painstaking detail, he builds an indictment of these men and women who have blood on their hands, abusing the trust of millions to peddle lies and falsehoods. This book is one for the ages, making it hard to sweep the complicity of these individuals with the virus under the carpet, leaving a record for the future, a cautionary tale for all of us.Gregg Gonsalves, PhDAssociate Professor, Yale School of Public HealthAssociate Professor (adjunct), Yale Law SchoolThe legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic will haunt our nation (United States) for many years. This is true not only because of the horrific toll of more than one million American deaths, and those who lost loved ones, but also several failed public health policies that contributed to America's suffering. In "We Want Them Infected" Dr. Howard tells a dark story of how spurious concepts of herd immunity may have contributed to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States (and perhaps globally). His book provides important information about how we might limit the death and destruction of future virus pandemics.Dr. Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, DSc (hon), FASTMH, FAAPTexas Children's Hospital: Endowed Chair of Tropical Pediatrics Co-Director, Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development Baylor College of Medicine: Dean, National School of Tropical Medicine Professor, Departments of Pediatrics, Molecular Virology & Microbiology Health Policy Scholar Rice University, Baker Institute Fellow in Disease & Poverty, Texas A&M University, Faculty-Senior Fellow, Hagler Inst for Advanced Study & Scowcroft Institute of Intl Affairs
