  Wind Power: Science & Nature , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min

  Learn about the science of Wind Power with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. Wind power is a limitless, non-polluting resource that currently contributes almost 2% of the world's energy supply. It's the fastest-growing resource market in the world and has become one of the biggest issues in the green movement. Importantly, there is enough of it in the atmosphere to meet the daily global energy demand five times over! But what is wind? In fact, it is the sun's heat and the earth's varied surfaces that create wind. When the sun's rays hit the earth, the north and south poles receive less heat than the equator because of their angle to the sun. The earth's vegetation, water, and geographical features such as mountains and deserts also affect air temperature. These different surface conditions create massive air pockets or "fronts" of varying temperatures. The movement of these fronts is called the "convection system". In this system, warm air starts on the Earth's surface. The hottest air is on or near to the equator.

  Hemophilia: Medicine & Inventions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min

  Learn about the condition of Hemophilia with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The term hemophilia describes hemorrhagic, or bleeding, disorders. The most common of these disorders is caused by a deficiency of protein in the blood known as “blood-clotting factor”. There needs to be at least 30% of the clotting factor for the blood to clot normally. Less than 30% results in the blood being slow to clot, causing bleeding for a longer time than someone with a regular amount of clotting factor. Internal bleeding, usually into joints and muscles, is the most common form of bleeding sustained by those suffering from hemophilia. This can result from an incident such as a fall, or even spontaneously, with no apparent cause. Joint bleeds result in restriction of movement, swelling, heat, and an abnormal redness on and around the joint. Muscle bleeds can generate swelling, pain, and numbness of the affected area and an inability to move the limb. This bleeding can damage organs and tissues and is sometimes fatal.

  REM Sleep: Medicine & Inventions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min

  Learn about REM sleep with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. REM is an important component of sleep. But sleep itself is a difficult phenomenon to study because it is such an insular process. Dreams in particular are highly elusive for the researcher of sleep. As dreaming is a "state of mind", theories concerning it are frustratingly convoluted and highly theory-based, with any advancement unlikely to be supported by hard evidence. However, what scientists can do is measure the physical reactions that take place in our bodies and by our bodies when we are sleeping. This helps us understand what happens to us when we sleep and what REM is all about. From close monitoring of sleeping subjects, scientists have been able to discover an arc that we all go through in our unconscious state. Basically, sleep is divided into two cycles: REM and NREM. The former stands for "rapid eye movement" and the latter stands for "non-rapid eye movement".

Regardless of the economic climate, rogue traders work illegally to make up for company losses they have incurred while trading for their company.

  Guy Fawkes: People & Places , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about the story of the infamous Guy Fawkes with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. “Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot.”Guy Fawkes has been called the most famous terrorist in history for his involvement in the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. His influence is still felt today in United Kingdom where ‘Guy Fawkes Night’ is still celebrated on 5 November. Guy Fawkes was born in York in 1570 when Queen Elizabeth I was on the English throne. It was an age where the only accepted form of Christianity was Protestantism. Catholics were greatly marginalized and often persecuted. Fawkes was the only son of Edward Fawkes and Edith Blake, both of whom were Protestants. Guy’s father died when he was just seven and his mother remained a widow for nine years before marrying Dennis Bainbridge, who was a Catholic. Whether it was due to the influence of his teacher or perhaps his step-father, Guy converted to Catholicism in his mid-teens, around the time Queen Elizabeth and Parliament were enacting a brutal repression of English Catholics.

  Behavioral Economcs: Politics, Law & Business , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about Behavioral Economics with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.According to most economics textbooks, human beings are super-rational creatures who know what is in their own best interests and always act accordingly. When making a decision to buy something, the rational consumer will evaluate all the possible alternatives before making a purchase, having already conducted research on the state of the market. They would not buy something on the spur of the moment, or on the recommendation of a friend. Nor would a rational consumer be unduly influenced by advertising or a brand name in making purchasing decisions. This explanation of human behavior is known as the rational agent model. Sound realistic? While the rational agent model is useful for some economic analysis, such as when we examine the economy as a whole, it clearly does not correspond to how human beings behave in the real world. Traditional (or neoclassical) economics, which relies on this model, simply cannot explain why people sometimes make decisions that are not strictly in their own best interests.

  Great Fire of London: History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about the Great Fire of London with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. Before the Great Fire, the City of London was filled with crowded, timber-framed buildings with thin, plaster walls. Candles, rush lights, coals, and fireplaces were omnipresent, and the risk of fire was paramount. The Great Fire of London is believed to have been started by the baker Thomas Farrynger shortly after midnight on Sunday, 2 September 1666, in his shop on Pudding Lane, just East of London Bridge. Within a few hours, the fire had spread rapidly, consuming Pudding Lane, Star Inn at Fish Street Hill and also part of Thames Street. For the next four days the fire raged, mercilessly consuming everything in its wake. Londoners were beside themselves trying to extinguish it. Among average Londoners doing what they could to control the blaze were the likes of the Lord Mayor, the Duke of York, and King Charles II.

  Hope Diamond: Mystery & Conspiracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about the mysterious Hope Diamond with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The 45.52-carat Hope Diamond is the largest deep-blue diamond in the world. In its body of less than one cubic inch, it holds a history dripping with mystery, conspiracy, and celebrity. It is now housed behind three inches of bulletproof glass in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and looks out at a world fixated with its beauty and history. Originally 115 carats, the Hope Diamond was discovered in India by the French merchant-traveler Jean Tavernier in the 1660s. Born in 1605, Tavernier was apprenticed to a jeweler at a young age. Later in life, between 1631 and 1638, he made six trips to India to obtain and trade diamonds. He was reputed to have discovered the Hope Diamond in the forehead of a statue of the Hindu goddess Sita in a temple. His alleged theft of the diamond spawned the famed story of the "curse".

  The Dropa Stones: Mystery & Conspiracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about the mystery of the Dropa Stones with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The Dropa Stones are supposedly a collection of circular stones found in a cave in Tibet in 1938. They were discovered by Chinese archaeologist Chi Pu Tei. They purportedly tell of aliens coming to earth in 10,000 BC. No claims have been verified, and so the Dropa Stones are part of a highly elusive mystery. High in the Baian-Kara-Ula mountains in Western China, Chi Pu Tei led a group of students on an expedition surveying interlinking caves in the Himalayas. The caves were apparently remarkable in that they appeared to have been carved using a technically-advanced cutter. What was most incredible about the expedition of Chi's team is the fact that they stumbled across 400 skeletons of an unidentifiable small creature. Each creature would have stood at little more than four-feet high.
