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
=======
CP 55,940 is a cannabinoid which mimics the effects of naturally occurring THC (one of the psychoactive compounds found in cannabis). CP 55,940 was created by Pfizer in 1974 but was never marketed. It is currently used to study the endocannabinoid system.
A study found that CP 55,940 can upregulate 5-HT2A receptors in mice.CP 55,940 is 45 times more potent than Δ9-THC, and fully antagonized by rimonabant (SR141716A).CP 55,940 is considered a full agonist at both CB1 and CB2 receptors and has Ki values of 0.58nM and 0.68nM respectively, but is an antagonist at GPR55, the putative "CB3" receptor.CP 55,940 showed protective effects on rat brain mitochondria upon paraquat exposure.It also showed neuroprotective effects by reducing intracellular calcium release and reducing hippocampal cell death in cultured neurons subjected to high levels of NMDA.CP 55,940 induced cell death in NG 108-15 Mouse neuroblastoma x Rat glioma hybrid brain cancer (genetically engineered mouse x rat brain cancer) cells.
