  THE VOICE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The Voice is an American singing competition television series that premiered on NBC in 2011. The show seeks to find unsigned singing talent through public auditions. The competition is open to solo or duet artists aged 13 and up. The winner receives $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group. 
    
  The series features a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and mentor their teams. The coaches compete to have their act win, making them the winning coach. The show employs a "blind audition" format, where coaches select artists based on their voice alone. The coaches' chairs turn towards an artist they want. The coaches also use "blocks" and "replays". 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Voice is an American singing competition based on the original The Voice of Holland. It is the only version in the franchise that doesn't include its country's name.  
    
  The show's concept involves "Blind Auditions" where coaches select team members based solely on voice, with chairs turned away from the performer. If more than one coach wants the same artist, the artist gets to choose which coach they want to work with.  
    
  In the "Battle Rounds," coaches pair up their team members to perform duets, and then choose one to advance. Celebrity advisors help the coaches with this process.  
    
  The "Knockout Rounds" feature individual performances by paired teammates, who are not told who they are paired with until a few minutes prior to performing. The artists choose their own songs, with continued advice from their coaches.

  THIS EXPLOSIVE INVESTIGATION REVEALS THE PROFOUND FAILURES OF THE TITLE IX SYSTEM AND IDENTIFIES THE STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO PROTECT STUDENTS 
   
  On the Wrong Side provides the first comprehensive account of the inner workings of the secretive Title IX system. Drawing on a yearlong study of survivors, perpetrators, and the administrators who oversaw their cases, sociologist Nicole Bedera exposes the structures that predictably punish survivors who come forward in the service of protecting—or even rewarding—their perpetrators. She reveals that the system tasked with ending gender inequality on campus only intensifies it, upending survivors’ lives and threatening their degrees. 
   
  Equally heartbreaking and optimistic, On the Wrong Side makes it easy to imagine life-changing interventions for the next generation of students by proposing specific solutions to the structural problems of Title IX. Bedera proves that ending campus sexual violence is within our grasp—and dares us to be courageous enough to take action. 
   
  “Nicole Bedera is one of the most important thinkers of our time about sexual violence on campus. I am grateful for her work.”—Peggy Orenstein, New York Times–bestselling author of Boys & Sex: Young Men on Hookups, Love, Porn, Consent, and Navigating the New Masculinity

  Genetics in the Madhouse - The...

  “Porter has unearthed a radically new history of human genetics, one that evokes not the double helix but the humble filing cabinet.” —Emily M. Kern, ScienceIn the early 1800s, a century before there was any concept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books. Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes. As doctors and state officials steadily lost faith in the capacity of asylum care to stem the terrible increase of insanity, they began emphasizing the need to curb the reproduction of the insane. They became obsessed with identifying weak or tainted families and anticipating the outcomes of their marriages. Genetics in the Madhouse is the untold story of how the collection and sorting of hereditary data in mental hospitals, schools for “feebleminded” children, and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity.In this compelling book, Theodore Porter draws on untapped archival evidence from across Europe and North America to bring to light the hidden history behind modern genetics. He looks at the institutional use of pedigree charts, censuses of mental illness, medical-social surveys, and other data techniques—innovative quantitative practices that were worked out in the madhouse long before the manipulation of DNA became possible in the lab. Porter argues that asylum doctors developed many of the ideologies and methods of what would come to be known as eugenics, and deepens our appreciation of the moral issues at stake in data work conducted on the border of subjectivity and science.

  Medical oncology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer. It involves the use of systemic therapies, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy, to treat various types of cancer. The field is integral to the multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, working in collaboration with surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive patient management. Medical oncologists play a central role in coordinating cancer treatment plans and monitoring patients throughout their treatment journey. 
  Cancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and spread to other parts of the body. Over the years, advances in the understanding of cancer biology, genetics, and molecular mechanisms have greatly enhanced the ability of medical oncologists to tailor treatments to individual patients. This personalized approach has significantly improved treatment outcomes, making cancer a more manageable condition for many patients. 
  The scope of medical oncology encompasses a wide range of cancers, including solid tumors, hematologic cancers, and rare malignancies. It involves not only treating cancer but also addressing the psychological, social, and physical challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. The goal of medical oncology is not only to eradicate cancer cells but also to preserve and improve the patient’s quality of life during and after treatment.

  What if the nature of reality is built on contradictions? 
  In Parmenides, Plato presents a dialogue unlike any other—one that turns philosophy inward to critique its own foundations. Through a dramatic meeting between Socrates and Parmenides, we’re led into the depths of metaphysical inquiry. Is the theory of Forms coherent? Can one truly speak of “being” without paradox? 
  This modern adaptation brings clarity to Plato’s dense logic and rigorous questioning, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in one of philosophy’s greatest challenges. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A sharp critique of the theory of Forms by the philosopher who first developed it 
  •	A journey through eight logical hypotheses that test the meaning of unity and being 
  •	The philosophical origins of metaphysics and dialectical reasoning 
  •	A clear, modernized translation that makes complex thought more accessible 
  Begin your journey into the heart of ancient metaphysical philosophy today with Parmenides—Plato’s boldest and most enigmatic dialogue.
