  Blues: The Arts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about Blues Music with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. Blues music is a type of African-American folk music. It is concerned with expressing emotions through song. Generally, blues songs deal with tragic themes such as lost love, hardship, poverty, and death. Indeed, the name "blues" comes from the emotions expressed in the songs themselves! However, blues songs are presented in a way to make audiences feel better about their own situation in life. This is because they encourage listeners to take control of their lives and move past any hardship. Due to this, blues music is very effective at connecting with its audience. This is best proved by Lead Belly, a famous US musician who was released from jail in 1925 due to his ability to sing the blues! The distinct vocal style that characterizes the blues stems from southern work songs. These work songs were sung by plantation slaves in the south of the United States of America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

  Confucius: Culture & Religion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about the teachings of Confucius with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.Confucius was a Chinese philosopher, teacher and political figure. His teachings have profoundly influenced Asian thought and life. The impact of his life and intellectual ideas have changed human history and it can be argued that he is the most influential philosopher who has ever lived. In China, he is known as K’ung Fu-Tzu, but in the West, he is more popularly known by his Latinized name. Legend and tradition have built up around Confucius since his death around 479 B.C. It is therefore difficult to know who the “real” Confucius was. It is hard to separate fact from fiction, truth from legend. What we do know is that Confucius was born in China around 551 B.C. in the relatively small state of Lu, located in Shantung Province. While we cannot be certain of his ancestry, it is highly probable he had aristocrats in his lineage. However, his family had fallen on difficult times and he was raised humbly without wealth or influence around him.

  Creationism: Culture & Religion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min

  Learn about the theory of Creationism with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.Creationism is the name given to the belief that God created the universe and everything in it, including life. In the West, the word is usually associated with the account of creation given in the book of Genesis in the Christian and Jewish bibles, but it can apply equally to the foundation stories of other religions, such as Islam and Hinduism. There are various forms of creationism, each associated with a different interpretation of scripture and with different views about its impact on current scientific thinking. The book of Genesis says that “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth”, and that the whole world was created in six days. On the sixth day God created Adam and Eve, who were instructed to “be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it”. The belief that the first people were created by God in his image is the reason why some creationists dispute an account of human history based on evolution.

  Aurora Borealis: Science & Nature , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about the science of the Aurora Borealis with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The aurora borealis, often referred to as the Northern Lights, is a natural light-show that appears in the sky around the north magnetic pole. Auroras can sometimes be seen in other places of the world, but not as clearly. In the southern hemisphere, the phenomenon is called “aurora australis”. The aurora borealis occurs because of an interaction between solar wind and the Earth’s magnetic field. When the sun’s gases explode, some of the particles are blown away in a phenomenon known as solar wind. The particles in the solar wind travel at speeds of over 600,000 miles per hour and take two to three days to reach the Earth. When these particles reach the Earth, some of the electrons and protons get caught in the Earth’s magnetic field. This happens most frequently in the Polar Regions of the Earth where the magnetic field is stronger. The electrons and protons get trapped in the atmosphere, and move in a giant oval shaped motion.

  Elders of Zion: Mystery & Conspiracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min

  Learn the story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the one of the world's most famous conspiracy theories. It is a statement of prejudice and paranoia, a fake historical record and a grand hoax all rolled into one. The Protocols claim to prove that there is a Jewish plot to take over the world and purport to show that Socialism, Liberalism, and every other reformist idea or activity are just tools of a Jewish secret cabal. The Protocols have been discredited many times over their 110-year-old history and would be laughable, except for the tragic role they played in the Twentieth Century. The actual Protocols text is written as if it is a secret document from a shadowy Jewish organization and details a conspiratorial plot to undermine the existing World Order. Each of the 24 sections read as a strategic instruction on how to undermine elements of the existing order.

  Barbary Pirates: History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min

  Learn about the Barbary Pirates with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. For 350 years, from the late 15th century onwards, Europeans travelling by boat in the Mediterranean Sea were under constant threat of pirate attack. But these were not pirates as normally understood; rather, they were Muslim warriors officially sanctioned to plunder ships from Christian countries to kill or enslave anyone they found aboard. The pirates came from the North African port cities of Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli and Sale, known collectively as the Barbary States. Although these cities were officially part of the Ottoman Empire, they enjoyed considerable autonomy and lived mainly from the proceeds of piracy. The ships of the Barbary corsairs, as the pirates were known, were usually owned by the local ruler, or “pasha”, who granted the captain of each ship license to engage in piracy against ships from non-Muslim countries. Local merchants would also invest in corsair ships, which could be a source of handsome profits.

  The Last Supper: Culture & Religion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about the Last Supper with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. “While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, ‘Take it; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, ‘This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.” In the Gospel according to Mark, we read of the night before Jesus was arrested, before he was taken to his death on the cross. On his last night on earth, he shares bread and wine with his twelve chosen disciples. This - his Last Supper - continues to be remembered and rehearsed as an important event in the Christian faith. Alongside the act of baptism, it is held up as one of the most important traditions of Christianity, for both were introduced and commanded by Jesus himself.

  Rosetta Stone: History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

  Learn about the Rosetta Stone with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. In 196 BCE, priests of all the gods of Upper and Lower Egypt assembled at Memphis to celebrate the accession to the throne of the boy king Ptolemy V. He was already in the ninth year of his reign, but this was the first time that such a momentous gathering as this had taken place. The Council of Priests reviewed all the good works that Ptolemy had performed since acceding to the throne. They also decided that his services to Egypt merited extra honors to be paid to him in all major temples in Egypt. So, after this ceremony, the priests went about drafting a decree in which the good deeds of Ptolemy V and the extra honors to be paid to him were laid out. They wrote a final copy of this decree in three languages: Greek, Demotic (New Egyptian) and Hieroglyphs (Old Egyptian). This decree was engraved onto hard stone and was to be set up in every temple in Egypt. Thus, the Rosetta stone was created.

  Seven Archangels: Culture & Religion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min

  Learn about the Seven Archangels with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.The history of angels rests predominantly in the Middle East. Other cultures had gods, goddesses, or faeries, but in the Middle East they worshiped angels as their gods. Once the idea of a single all powerful God evolved, however, it was necessary to create another space for angels. And so, they became known as mediators between the newly created all powerful God and his servants - humankind - on Earth. The concept of angels was particularly native to Jewish and Babylonian cultures. The word angel comes from the Greek word for “messenger”. This definition is particularly fitting as angels are typically portrayed in religious texts as messengers from God. The Christian Bible, for example, refers to angels who stand before God’s throne in Heaven. These angels are considered to be His archangels. They are the leaders and the highest ranking among all the angels. Archangels are also God’s most active messengers to the human world.
