    Binaural beats result from hearing 2 dissimilar frequencies in each ear so headphones are required. If you hear two different frequencies in each ear, you'll hear the difference between two as a binaural beat. 
    Listening to binaural beats may increase particular brainwave frequencies. Our brain mimics the frequencies we hear in the beat. If you wish to better your alpha brainwaves, listen to a binaural beat in the alpha range. This is called entrainment or frequency-following response. 
    If you wish to relax, practice stress reduction, learn to meditate, or evoke the Relaxation Response download and listen to these binaural beat MP3 files.

    'NBC University Theater’ initially started in Chicago with a remit to bring adaptations of classic novels, usually Anglo-American, to a radio audience.   
     
    Additionally, if listeners signed up they received college credit to a radio-assisted correspondence course.  A study guide, The Handbook of the World's Great Novels, was available for 25 cents.   
     
    In its later years it also included short stories and plays and went on to win the distinguished Peabody award. 
     
    Unlike many other radio shows University Theatre did not pursue the glamourous stars for its productions but instead relied on excellent distillations of the novels and first class acting alongside high production values. 
     
    But now its time to enjoy these timeless novels. Let’s begin.

    "Before my version begins to fade, 
    Let me relieve what happened today. 
    Today was not a lifetime of discrimination and shame, 
    But of celebration as a black man living in Ukraine." 
    - culled from the EPIGRAPH 
    A brave and explorative Artisan 
    Calm exterior but he was born a warrior 
    A Leon not bothered about territory 
    A Leon who hunted alone. 
    And a Leon who hurt alone. 
    With a free prefrontal cortex, he came prepared for learning... 
    And learn he did, as his memory campus would get soiled with complex realities. 
    In my first anatomy tour, all I saw were dry cadavers, 
    But by the end of my tenure, I saw my own fresh blood. 
    No tribal marks but you can tell he started out with an Afro. 
    And in this foreign soil, explorations were his special dish. 
    To-and-fro he evolved... and no, he didn't hail from the safari. 
    From a genial ark but he always kept his wits about him. 
    And when he stepped out, he was like a fresh aphrodisiac. 
    Through his eyes, you could hear all of his favorite tunes. 
    Black vanilla at his core as he had a thing for interfacing. 
    General with a stylus brush, 
    Hankie forever in the back pocket. 
    Like his paws, his heart appears four-chambered, 
    But on closer inspection, you see a fifth chamber a short distance away from the rest. 
    A blind Cub walking in the midst of hyenas, 
    With lesions so deep, they suffocated him where it hurt most. 
    The pages are filled with art and expression, 
    As I relive this once-in-a-lifetime experience... 
    Which shaped me into the man I am today.

    Michelangelo, like Leonardo, was a man of many talents; sculptor, architect, painter and poet, he made the apotheosis of muscular movement, which to him was the physical manifestation of passion. He moulded his draughtsmanship, bent it, twisted it, and stretched it to the extreme limits of possibility. There are not any landscapes in Michelangelo's painting. All the emotions, all the passions, all the thoughts of humanity were personified in his eyes in the naked bodies of men and women. He rarely conceived his human forms in attitudes of immobility or repose. Michelangelo became a painter so that he could express in a more malleable material what his titanesque soul felt, what his sculptor's imagination saw, but what sculpture refused him. Thus this admirable sculptor became the creator, at the Vatican, of the most lyrical and epic decoration ever seen: the Sistine Chapel. The profusion of his invention is spread over this vast area of over 900 square metres. There are 343 principal figures of prodigious variety of expression, many of colossal size, and in addition a great number of subsidiary ones introduced for decorative effect. The creator of this vast scheme was only thirty-four when he began his work. Michelangelo compels us to enlarge our conception of what is beautiful. To the Greeks it was physical perfection; but Michelangelo cared little for physical beauty, except in a few instances, such as his painting of Adam on the Sistine ceiling, and his sculptures of the Pietà. Though a master of anatomy and of the laws of composition, he dared to disregard both if it were necessary to express his concept: to exaggerate the muscles of his figures, and even put them in positions the human body could not naturally assume. In his later painting, The Last Judgment on the end wall of the Sistine, he poured out his soul like a torrent. Michelangelo was the first to make the human form express a variety of emotions. In his hands emotion became an instrument upon which he played, extracting themes and harmonies of infinite variety. His figures carry our imagination far beyond the personal meaning of the names attached to them.
