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
=======
Sticholonche is a genus of radiolarians with a single species, S. zanclea, found in open oceans at depths of 99–510 metres.  It is generally considered a heliozoan, placed in its own order, called the Taxopodida.  However it has also been classified as an unusual radiolarian, and this has gained support from genetic studies, which place it near the Acantharea.T. Cavalier-Smith (1993). "Kingdom Protozoa and Its 18 Phyla". Microbiological Reviews. 57 (4): 953–994. PMC 372943. PMID 8302218.Sticholonche are usually around 200 μm, though this varies considerably, and have a bilaterally symmetric shape, somewhat flattened and widened at the front.  The axopods are arranged into distinct rows, six of which lie in a dorsal groove and are rigid, and the rest of which are mobile.  These are used primarily for buoyancy, rather than feeding.  They also have fourteen groups of prominent spines, and many smaller spicules, although there is no central capsule as in true radiolarians.
