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
=======
Baton Rouge ( BAT-ən ROOZH; from French bâton rouge [bɑtɔ̃ ʁuʒ] (listen), meaning 'red stick') is the capital of the U.S. state of Louisiana and its second-largest city. Located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, it is the parish seat of East Baton Rouge Parish.
As its capital city, Baton Rouge is the political hub of Louisiana. It is the second-largest city in the state, with an estimated population of 227,715 in 2016. The metropolitan area surrounding the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, is also the second-largest in Louisiana, with a population of 830,480 people as of 2015. The urban area has around 594,309 inhabitants.
Baton Rouge is a major industrial, petrochemical, medical, research, motion picture, and growing technology center of the American South. It is the location of Louisiana State University, the LSU System's flagship university and the largest institution of higher education in the state. It is also the location of Southern University, the flagship institution of the Southern University System, the only historically black college system in the nation. The Port of Greater Baton Rouge is the 10th-largest in the United States in terms of tonnage shipped, and is the farthest upstream Mississippi River port capable of handling Panamax ships.The Baton Rouge area owes its historical importance to its strategic site upon the Istrouma Bluff, the first natural bluff upriver from the Mississippi River Delta. This allowed development of a business quarter safe from seasonal flooding. In addition, the city built a levee system stretching from the bluff southward to protect the riverfront and low-lying agricultural areas. The city is a culturally rich center, with settlement by immigrants from numerous European nations and African peoples brought to North America as slaves or indentured servants. It was ruled by seven different governments: French, British, and Spanish in the colonial era, West Floridian, United States territory and state, Confederate, and United States again.

Mississippi River Rising Part 3 May 13 2011

Here I am on My Service Bicycle - We start on River Road, across from the Pentagon Barracks to see more Tiger Dams alon the Railroad, which was officially closed to Trains today. Also, all Pedestrian and Bicycle Traffic was closed on the Downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana Levees...

I then ride South on River Road, all the way to the Hyatt Hotel and the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino. Despite the Levees being closed, many people couldn't resist getting a first hand look at these Historic Mississippi River Water Levels...

Top 10 Murder Capitals 2019 FBI update.

Top 10 Murder Capitals 2019 FBI update

Good news, last month the FBI released the complete 2018 murder rate list. Yes, it takes them almost a complete year to gather all that info. Even with computers. To be fair there are 17,985 police agencies in the United States which include County Sheriff, State Police Departments, and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies. And I am sure not all of them hand over the data in a timely manner. Seeing that the FBI is and should be the final word on crime stats maybe it’s a good idea they take their time. Get it right. We will only be looking at places with a population of over 100K on a per capita.

Thanks for checking out the channel. I hope you enjoyed today's video. If there is a state, city or town you'd like us to do a video about let us know in the comment section.
