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.

Located in northeastern Indiana, the city is 18 miles (29 km) west of the Ohio border and 50 miles (80 km) south of the Michigan border. With a population of 253,691 in the 2010 census, it is the second-most populous city in Indiana after Indianapolis, and the 75th-most populous city in the United States. It is the principal city of the Fort Wayne metropolitan area, consisting of Allen, Wells, and Whitley counties, a combined population of 419,453 as of 2011. Fort Wayne is the cultural and economic center of northeastern Indiana. The city is within a 200-mile (320 km) radius of major population centers, including Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Milwaukee.
In addition to the three core counties, the combined statistical area (CSA) includes Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Noble, and Steuben counties, with an estimated population of 615,077.Fort Wayne was built in 1794 by the United States Army under the direction of American Revolutionary War general Anthony Wayne, the last in a series of forts built near the Miami village of Kekionga.

Can Indiana Data Centers Get Funding for Expansion? (Screencast)
Can Indiana Data Centers Get Funding for Expansion? (Screencast). Learn about Indiana data center expansion funding and how it has helped these five data centers in Columbus, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne. Copyright (C) SP Home Run Inc. All worldwide rights reserved.
There has been much written about data center funding and tax incentive plans which are available in states such as Minnesota, Colorado, and Montana.
The State of Indiana also offers a number of programs to companies who want to establish data center facilities as well. This might explain why Indiana is currently ranked number one in the Midwest in terms of high tech employment growth.
Indiana data center service providers have benefitted from incentives such as funding and tax incentives including:
Data Cave (Columbus) - At 80,000 square feet, Data Cave is a data center that provides technology solutions, such as colocation, offsite backup, and network management and managed security services.
Lifeline Data Centers (Indianapolis) - The location was the Eastgate Consumer Mall. This Lifeline Data Centers facility is huge with a 450,000 square foot data center. It also has 200,000 square feet of office space.
Indiana Data Center (Fort Wayne) - In northeastern Indiana, the Indiana Data Center built a wireless network infrastructure. They connected four large communities including Fort Wayne, Auburn, Angola, and Columbia City.
TLS.NET (Columbus) - A national, privately held Internet Services Provider, data center, and Web-based software developer.
n|Frame (Indianapolis) - n|Frame delivers services through a sophisticated data center and cutting-edge Business Continuity and Recovery Centers.
There are a number of programs offered through the Indiana Economic Development Corporation division of the government for companies either expanding into the state or needing to augment their technology infrastructure. Some of these programs include:
TECH (Technology Enhancement Certification for Hoosiers) – A program for existing Indiana companies who have a need to expand their technology infrastructure and skillset. (You have to like the acronym too!)
Indiana Certified Technology Parks - Supports the attraction and growth of high tech businesses into the state of Indiana, if a business is certified as a technology park, there are tax rebates which can be re-invested back into the technology park.
TechPoint - Indiana’s statewide technology trade group which lobbies government and promotes technology growth and educational opportunities in the state.
Data Cave was able to secure $225,000 in tax credits and was offered $36,500 in training grants. The City of Columbus was also provided a $50,000 grant to improve its fiber optic cable network in the area which benefits more than just Data Cave, but businesses all over the City of Columbus.
It’s not just corporate data centers which benefit from State of Indiana funding programs. Indiana University built a data center six years ago which was over 80,000 square feet and received funding from both commercial organizations such as HP, local architect firm Ratio Architects, and DC-based architect firm the Smith Group.
If you are a company in the Midwestern United States and are seeking assistance to fund the construction or expansion in Indiana, there are multiple opportunities which are provided by both government and commercial interests.

Injustice’s Lariat | Lynching in Indiana
Indiana, a state claimed as “free” from its statehood in 1816, was nevertheless the 7th highest non-southern state with racial terror lynchings, with 18 separate incidents. When searching through Indiana newspapers, many stories emerge of outlaw vigilantes who terrorized and brutalized African-Americans, sometimes for nothing more than alleged crimes. Since many were lynched before they received equal justice under the law, many of their lives ended tragically through injustice under the lariat.

New Discoveries at Fort Recovery
This video was taken and edited by the Ohio Historical Society during Ball State University's field school, which was a part of the 2010 American Battlefields Preservation Program (ABPP) grant at Fort Recovery.
On November 4th, 1791, a coalition of American Indian tribes led by the Miami Chief Little Turtle and the Shawnee Chief Blue Jacket defeated the army of Gen. Arthur St. Clair at the site of the modern city of Fort Recovery. Two years later, another American army led by Gen. Anthony Wayne returned to the site and built a fort that became a key base for his eventual victory over the Indians of the Ohio Country. In 2011, a team of archaeologists from Ball State University began to search for traces of these historic conflicts that might be preserved beneath and between the yards and back alleys of the modern city of Fort Recovery.
