  Wiserwoof presents The Stoics Collection.  In this first release we give you a collection of the best Epictetus quotes.  Epictetus was born nearly 2,000 years ago in Hierapolis (present-day Pamukkale in Turkey) as a slave in a wealthy household. Epaphroditus, his owner, gave him the permission to pursue liberal studies and it is how Epictetus discovered philosophy through the Stoic Musonius Rufus who became his teacher and mentor. Later, Epictetus obtained his freedom shortly after emperor Nero's death and started teaching philosophy in Rome for nearly 25 years. This lasted until emperor Domitian famously banished all philosophers in Rome. Epictetus fled to Nicopolis in Greece where he founded a philosophy school and taught there until his death.

  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.

  Patriarchy Inc - What We Get...

  Work remains much as it always has: men occupy the vast majority of leadership roles and are overrepresented in positions from engineer to plumber. We see many jobs as "male" or "female," with women dominating in healthcare and childcare professions. Pretending that this is the natural state of things―or that, instead, both sexes should submit to working 24/7—is just not right. 
   
   
   
  In Patriarchy Inc., Cordelia Fine examines with razor-sharp and quick-witted analysis why gender inequality is embedded in the workplace and why it has to change. Drawing on theories from evolutionary science, psychology, economics, and sociology, she examines two of the most prominent movements in the corporate world. The Different But Equal viewpoint espouses that women are in the jobs they want despite their lower status and salaries. In the meantime, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) has become a slogan that emphasizes productivity and profit, not fair play. Fine shows how both are wrong and the bad effects on everyone when men are still stuck in traditional breadwinner roles and women are having to fight for their due. 
   
   
   
  Offering perceptive and much-needed insight into the current state of work, Patriarchy Inc. explores how we can get closer to achieving equality, even if it means upturning business as usual.
