Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Kansas City is the largest city in the U.S. state of Missouri, bordering Johnson County and Wyandotte County in Kansas. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city had an estimated population of 488,943 in 2017, making it the 37th most-populous city in the United States and the most populated city of the Kansas City metropolitan area. It also has the fifth highest murder rate out of every city in the United States. Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a Missouri River port east of its confluence with the Kansas River. It was named after the Kansa or Kaw people who had their significant populations in what is now the state of Kansas. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; shortly after came the establishment of the Kansas Territory. Confusion between the two ensued and the name Kansas City was assigned to distinguish them soon after.
Sitting on Missouri's western boundary, with Downtown near the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, the historic city encompasses some 319.03 square miles (826.3 km2), making it the 23rd largest city by total area in the United States. Most of the city lies within Jackson County, but portions spill into Clay, Cass, and Platte counties. Along with Independence, one of its major suburbs, it serves as one of the two county seats of Jackson County. Other cities with a population of over 50,000 in the Kansas City metropolitan area include the Kansas cities of Overland Park, Kansas City, Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa and the Missouri cities of Lee's Summit and Blue Springs.
The city is composed of several neighborhoods, including the River Market District in the north, the 18th and Vine District in the east, and the Country Club Plaza in the south. Kansas City is known for its long tradition of jazz music and culture, for its cuisine (including its distinctive style of barbecue), and its craft breweries.

Women's Blue Chip Basketball League: Kansas Nuggets vs. Minnesota Jaguars
A new women's semi-pro basketball team looks to highlight Minnesota talent to professional teams at home or overseas. The Minnesota Jaguars host the Kansas Lady Nuggets in the final game of the regular season, setting up the regional playoffs.
Minnesota features a who's who among hardcore basketball fans. Former Golden Gopher Tanisha Gilbert is credited with starting the team, which didn't take long to recruit other talent. WNBA veteran Tamara Moore is hoping the Jaguars will be a springboard to a professional return. Illinois Fighting Illini legend Jenna Smith, who set school records for career points, rebounds, blocks and double-doubles, joined the team after returning from her overseas commitments. Her old AAU teammate and friend, Ashley Ellis-Milan, came on board midway through the season to add more help in post play.
They're all led by Melissa Young, whose coaching stints include an assistant role with Minnesota, and head coach of Hamline's women's basketball team.
Kansas may not have the same amount of former Division One talent, but they have the experience as the team wraps up its 4th season of play. Keep your eyes peeled on Denae Stuckey, who spent much of her collegiate career with Iowa State.

Lawrence, Kansas and Ames, Iowa
Two fairly typical college towns in the American Midwest. Located just 269 miles from each other, or about a 4 hour drive. Why am I comparing them?
Well I’m from Lawrence.
And I’m Xander from the channel ARTexplains. I live in Ames.
Both: And we’re filming a collaboration!
Both Lawrence and Ames are dominated by the major universities in each city. Lawrence is the home of the University of Kansas, the largest university in Kansas, and Ames is the home of Iowa State University, the largest university in Iowa.
So yeah, overwhelmingly the largest employer in both cities are those two universities. After that, most workers in both towns work for either the city government, school district, or hospital in town.
Both Lawrence and Ames are relatively cheap places to live compared to the rest of the country, although Ames is 3 percent more expensive than Lawrence.
Both are consistently ranked on various lists of the top college towns to raise a family or retire. I don’t know, though, aren’t those lists fairly arbitrary? Yeah, I think those lists are pretty much meaningless.
Both are about the exact same distance from major urban centers. Lawrence is short drive west from Kansas City, and Ames is a short drive north from Des Moines.
Both cities have similar, continental climates, although Lawrence gets more precipitation than Ames, and since Ames is further north it gets colder and gets more snowfall than Lawrence.
Both cities are on the prairie, in areas where lots of agriculture is going on. Farmers represent. Wheat tends to be more common around Lawrence, and not to sound corny, but corn is all around us in Ames.
Both cities were founded during the Civil War Era. Kansas in 1854, and Ames in 1864. Now, Lawrence had a much more chaotic first few years compared to Ames. It started with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, a law which said the people living in Kansas and Nebraska territories could vote on whether they wanted slavery to be legal or not when they voted for statehood. This idea of popular sovereignty to determine whether or not Kansas would be a slave state or not caused a flood of Americans to migrate there. Many of the first settlers of Lawrence were Free Staters, or those who wanted Kansas to be a free state. However, due to developing a reputation as a Free Stater hotbed, Lawrence became a huge target for pro-slavery bushwhackers, who raided the town multiple times, most famously during the Lawrence Massacre, aka Quantrill’s Raid. The violence in Lawrence and around the state was so bad it became known as Bleeding Kansas.
Uh, yeah, Ames was pretty quiet and chill in its early years. It was pretty much just a railroad crossing.
Lawrence has a lot more people living there than Ames. Lawrence recently crossed the 100,000 mark, while Ames has around 67,000 people.
Ames has lower taxes than Lawrence. We just pay a 7% sales tax rate and we don’t pay taxes on groceries like you silly Kansans.
Yeah we pay taxes on groceries and over a 9% sales tax. But property taxes are a little lower in Lawrence so there’s that.
Ames has more residents with bachelor’s degrees and a higher graduation rate than Lawrence. Ames also has a lower unemployment rate currently than Lawrence.
Are you sure about that, Xander? It’s pretty low here. It’s 3.3%.
Yeah, it’s 2.1% in Ames.
Ames has significantly better air quality than Lawrence.
Lawrence has less poverty than Ames.
