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
=======
Sodium thiocyanate (sometimes called sodium sulphocyanide) is the chemical compound with the formula NaSCN.  This colorless deliquescent salt is one of the main sources of the thiocyanate anion.  As such, it is used as a precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other specialty chemicals.  Thiocyanate salts are typically prepared by the reaction of cyanide with elemental sulfur:

8 NaCN  +  S8  →  8 NaSCNSodium thiocyanate crystallizes in an orthorhombic cell.  Each Na+ center is surrounded by three sulfur and three nitrogen ligands provided by the triatomic thiocyanate anion. It is commonly used in the laboratory as a test for the presence of Fe3+ ions.
