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
=======
Lynching is the practice of murder by a group by extrajudicial action. Lynchings in the United States rose in number after the American Civil War in the late 1800s, following the emancipation of slaves; they declined in the 1920s but have continued to take place into the 21st century. Most lynchings were of African-American men in the South, but women were also lynched, and white lynchings of blacks occurred in Midwestern and border states, especially during the 20th-century Great Migration of blacks out of the South. The purpose was to enforce white supremacy and intimidate blacks by racial terrorism. On a per capita basis lynchings were also common in California and the Old West, especially of Latinos, although they represented less than 10% of the national total. Native Americans and Asian Americans were also lynched. Other ethnicities (white, Finnish-American, Jewish, Irish, Italian-American) were occasionally lynched.
The stereotype of a lynching is a hanging, because hangings are what crowds of people saw, and are also easy to photograph. Some hangings were professionally photographed and sold as postcards, which were popular souvenirs in some parts of the U.S. Victims were also killed by mobs in a variety of other ways: shot repeatedly, burned alive, forced to jump off a bridge, dragged behind cars, and the like. Sometimes they were tortured as well, with body parts sometimes removed and sold as souvenirs. Occasionally lynchings were not fatal (see Lynching survivors in the United States). A mock lynching, putting the rope around the neck of someone suspected of concealing information, might be used to compel confessions.According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites. More than 73 percent of lynchings in the post-Civil War period occurred in the Southern states. According to the Equal Justice Initiative, 4,084 African-Americans were lynched between 1877 and 1950 in the South.Lynchings were most frequent from 1890 to the 1920s, with a peak in 1892. Lynchings were often large mob actions, attended by hundreds or thousands of watchers, sometimes announced in advance in newspapers and in one instance with a special train. However, in the later 20th century lynchings became more secretive, and were conducted by smaller groups of people.
According to Michael Pfeifer, the prevalence of lynching in postbellum America reflects lack of confidence in the due process judicial system. He links the decline in lynching in the early twentieth century with the advent of the modern death penalty: legislators renovated the death penalty...out of direct concern for the alternative of mob violence. He also cites the modern, racialized excesses of u ...

New MLK memorial sculpture unveiled at Capitol
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- A new sculpture honoring Martin Luther King Jr. has been unveiled at the New York state Capitol.
The work is made of Steuben glass and was commissioned by Corning Inc. Entitled Seeds of Enlightenment, the work is the centerpiece of a small memorial for the civil rights leader in the Empire State Plaza Concourse below the Capitol building.
The previous sculpture, which was dedicated in 2000, was damaged over the Fourth of July weekend. Despite an investigation by the State Police, officials were unable to determine whether the damage was an accident or vandalism.
Senate Minority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins of Yonkers spoke at a ceremony dedicating the sculpture on Wednesday. She says the recent strife in Baltimore shows the need to continue King's work.
Oldest footage of Chicago ever
Chicago, this is the most awesome thing you will see today! Amazing collection of the earliest motion pictures made in Chicago from 1896-1935.
The film features places such as the stockyards and Michigan Avenue as far back as 1896. It also shows early 20th century clips of Theodore Roosevelt, Al Capone and recently discovered footage of the SS Eastland disaster on the Chicago River in 1915.
There are clips of the Cubs, the Chicago Maroons and Lake Michigan covered in ice.
In addition, the video shows dates and maps showing precisely where the camera was placed.
The producers believe they have also identified the previously unknown location of the oldest surviving footage of the Chicago - a short clip of a police parade in front of a now-demolished building in 1896.
The film was taken outside the Battery D building which stood on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Monroe Street.
The film's soundtrack features Chicago-style rhythm, blues and jazz, as well as one of the oldest surviving audio recordings made in the city from 1893.

BATTLE OF THE THAMES 2013 - Invitation to volunteers
Mark Dickerson, the President of the Battle of the Thames 2013 Committee is inviting everyone who wants to help organizing the Bicentennial Celebration of the War of 1812 and the Battle of the Thames to become a volunteer for the event. Details on the website.
Website:
Facebook:
History:
The year is 1813 and the balance of power in the Lake Erie region is tipping in favour of the Americans. The Battle of Lake Erie is lost to the Americans under Oliver Hazzard Perry and the British fleet is smashed. Fearing being completely cut off from supply routes, General Proctor decides to retreat to Burlington, but fails to adequately inform his inferior officers and Tecumseh of his plans which leads to distrust and suspicion. Tecumseh agrees to follow the British. Together, Proctor's 41st regiment and Tecumseh's warriors make a stand 2 miles down the Thames River from Morraviantown. It is a good site. The British left flank is protected by the river and a swamp on the right and Tecumseh's warriors are on the high ground overlooking the swamp. In a bold and unconventional move, General Harrison unleashes his cavalry which breaks the British. The natives hold their ground as the battle rages back and forth undecidedly. Above the raging sounds of battle, Tecumseh's voice no longer rings out to inspire his people.
On October 5th, 1813, the American army under General Harrison is victorious over the British and Tecumseh's forces. With winter approaching, Harrison leaves the region after burning Morraviantown to the ground. This leaves the farms and homes of the Thames River region and western district as un-occupied territory, susceptible to raiding parties of Americans, British and Natives for the next 15 months until the end of the war in 1815. With Tecumseh's death, the dream of a native confederacy and independent state in the American Midwest is destroyed, leaving open the route west for American expansionism.
2013 Bicentennial
The Battle of the Thames-2013 will be a 'living history' week end event. Living history is the re-creation of an event by people who have a passion for immersing themselves in history. They dress, act, and use the same equipment and clothes as people did at a particular point in the past. For the Battle of the Thames-2013, the time portrayed is October 1813. It will commemorate the 200th anniversary of the battle fought between the American Army of the Northwest and the alliance of the British Right Division and First Nation confederacy.
The original battle was fought along the Thames River a few miles downstream from the village of Morraviantown, near present day Thamesville. Tecumseh monument is located here and this will be the site of the Bicentennial re-enactment.
The Battle of the Thames-2013 will be a 2 day event on October 4th and 5th of 2013. Friday Oct 4th is Education Day. Thousands of school children will attend to see civilian and military life along the Thames as it was 200 years ago. On Saturday Oct 5th there will be military camps, demonstrations, entertainment, shopping, a battle re-enactment and a period style dance.
Why re-create this event? The Battle of the Thames was a major significant event that changed the course of history of the Midwest of the United States and Canada. The death of Tecumseh, the breakup of the native confederacy, and the absence of the British allowed the government of the United States to aggressively persue its acquisition of native lands of the Midwest. It permanently laid to rest the British and native hopes of preserving an independent, sovereign native nation south of the Great Lakes. The efforts and sacrifices of the people involved deserve to be remembered, recognized and commemorated.

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
=======
The Society of the Cincinnati is a hereditary society with branches in the United States and France, founded in 1783, to preserve the ideals and fellowship of officers of the Continental Army who served in the Revolutionary War. Now in its third century, the Society promotes the public interest in the revolution through its library and museum collections, publications, and other activities. It is the oldest hereditary society in the United States. The Society does not allow women to join, though there is a partnership society called Daughters of the Cincinnati which permits all female descendants of Continental officers.
