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
=======
Etonogestrel is a progestin medication which is used as a means of birth control for women. It is available alone as an implant placed under the skin of the upper arm under the brand names Nexplanon and Implanon and in combination with ethinylestradiol, an estrogen, as a vaginal ring under the brand names NuvaRing and Circlet. Etonogestrel is effective as a means of birth control within 8 hours of insertion.Side effects of etonogestrel include menstrual irregularities, headaches, vaginitis, breast tenderness, mood changes, abdominal pain, pharyngitis, acne, and others. Etonogestrel is a progestin, or a synthetic progestogen, and hence is an agonist of the progesterone receptor, the biological target of progestogens like progesterone. It has very weak androgenic and glucocorticoid activity and no other important hormonal activity.Etonogestrel was introduced for medical use in 1998. It became available in the United States in 2006. Etonogestrel is sometimes referred to as a "third-generation" progestin. It is marketed throughout the world. A closely related and more widely known and used progestin, desogestrel, is a prodrug of etonogestrel in the body.
