  Don't just see the sights—get to know the people. 
  Set in Africa, but not wholly African; an isolated nation, yet receptive to the outside world; hierarchical and conservative, yet innovative and desirous of modernity; conformist as a people, and fiercely independent as individuals? The Ethiopian identity defies definition. Ethiopia exists simultaneously in different time periods. Its people, when they see something new that might work to their advantage, will embrace it and find ways to improve on it. Modern democracy, however, has understandably been slower to bloom given the strong historical antecedents of its monarchy. 
  Culture Smart! Ethiopia unpacks the values, attitudes, and traditions of this culturally rich nation. Etiquette in daily life, socializing, and communicating are all helpfully described, and advice is given on how to make the most of a visit. Above all, it provides the tools to do so in a considerate and sensitive manner. 
  Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

  Audiology - The Science of Sound...

  Audiology is the branch of science that focuses on the study of sound, hearing, and balance. It is a multifaceted field that encompasses the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of various auditory and vestibular disorders. The role of audiologists is essential in identifying hearing impairments, providing interventions, and promoting overall ear health, which plays a vital part in communication and quality of life. 
  Sound, in its simplest form, is the vibration of molecules in the air that travel as waves to our ears. As one of the primary ways humans perceive the world around them, hearing is not only crucial for communication but also for safety, socialization, and enjoyment. Audiologists specialize in understanding these complex processes and the challenges that arise when they are impaired. Their work involves not only diagnosing hearing loss but also managing conditions related to balance and the inner ear, both of which are intricately linked. 
  The study of audiology dates back to the early 20th century, with significant advancements made throughout the decades in both technology and methodology. Today, audiology has grown into a highly specialized field that includes a range of services, from basic hearing tests to advanced procedures like cochlear implants and balance rehabilitation. Audiologists employ a variety of diagnostic tools, including audiometers, tympanometers, and specialized tests, to evaluate hearing and vestibular function. These assessments are critical in identifying the specific nature of auditory or balance problems, which can stem from a range of causes such as aging, genetics, illness, injury, or environmental factors.

  Osho explains that these sutras are concerned with aspects of man's unawareness and that Buddha's whole message is concerned with the raising of our consciousness. These sutras were compiled by Buddha's disciples to contain the essence of all his teachings. This was the last turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago. At the beginning of his commentaries on these sutras, Osho says he is setting the Wheel of Dharma in motion again.
  "Buddha transformed the word  meditation . Meditation had always been something of the mind, and Buddha brought a new quality, so totally new, diametrically opposite to the old meaning: He said, meditation means a state of no mind. It is not concentration; it is not contemplation. It is not thinking; it is not thinking about God. It is not even prayer - because thinking is of the head, intellectual; prayer is emotional. That is another side of the head, not very far away from it; a different language used by another part of the head." (Osho)
  Talks are "meditating talks", allowing the listener an experience of meditation. "These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you receive them in silence."
