Life at Colonial Harvard: The Archaeological Evidence
Lecture presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology related to the Digging Veritas exhibition about the archaeology of Harvard Yard and Harvard's Indian College.

Albany, New York
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
=======
Albany ( (listen) ALL-bə-nee) is the capital of the U.S. state of New York and the seat of Albany County. Albany is located on the west bank of the Hudson River approximately 10 miles (16 km) south of its confluence with the Mohawk River and approximately 150 miles (240 km) north of New York City.
Albany is known for its rich history, commerce, culture, architecture, and institutions of higher education. Albany constitutes the economic and cultural core of the Capital District of New York State, which comprises the Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area, including the nearby cities and suburbs of Troy, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs. With a 2013 Census-estimated population of 1.1 million the Capital District is the third-most populous metropolitan region in the state. As of the 2010 census, the population of Albany was 97,856.
The area that later became Albany was settled by Dutch colonists who in 1614, built Fort Nassau for fur trading and, in 1624, built Fort Orange. In 1664, the English took over the Dutch settlements, renaming the city as Albany, in honor of the then Duke of Albany, the future James II of England and James VII of Scotland. The city was officially chartered in 1686 under English rule. It became the capital of New York in 1797 following formation of the United States. Albany is one of the oldest surviving settlements of the original British thirteen colonies, and is the longest continuously chartered city in the United States.During the late 18th century and throughout most of the 19th, Albany was a center of trade and transportation. The city lies toward the north end of the navigable Hudson River, was the original eastern terminus of the Erie Canal connecting to the Great Lakes, and was home to some of the earliest railroad systems in the world. In the 1920s, a powerful political machine controlled by the Democratic Party arose in Albany. In the latter part of the 20th century, Albany experienced a decline in its population due to urban sprawl and suburbanization; however, the New York State Legislature approved a $234 million building and renovation plan for the City in the 1990s that spurred renovation and building projects around the downtown area. In the early 21st century, Albany has experienced growth in the high-technology industry, with great strides in the nanotechnology sector.

Find us on Facebook by visiting facebook.com/BinghamtonU
In a little over 60 years, Binghamton University has built a reputation as a world-class institution that combines a broadly interdisciplinary, international education with one of the most vibrant research programs in the nation. Binghamton is proud to be a premier public university, which means we challenge our students academically, not financially. The result is a unique, best-of-both-worlds college experience. Our academic culture is rigorous, collaborative and boldly innovative -- while our campus culture exemplifies the best kind of public university experience: richly diverse students, active social life and deep engagement with the community. Our students, both undergraduate and graduate, work one-on-one with an exceptional faculty that includes Pulitzer Prize winners and groundbreaking scholars. They take advantage of special academic opportunities like combined degrees, foreign-language study groups and an unparalleled international education program.
Discover Binghamton: The Premier Public University, was shown to and praised by State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher.
The video showcases Binghamton's achievements as a world-class institution that combines a broadly interdisciplinary, international education with one of the most vibrant research programs in the nation. This video gave us the ability to tell Binghamton's story in a very compelling and visual way while capturing the spirit of achievement at Binghamton, said Interim University Associate VP for Communications and Marketing Greg Delviscio. We were also fortunate to find students, faculty and staff who were able to assist with the production from start to finish.
An online video title competition was launched where participants could submit and vote for title ideas. During filming, the campus community seemed intrigued as well as curious to see the final outcome, so we decided to make them part of the process by giving them a say in what the video title should be, said Ryan Yarosh, assistant director of media relations and video project director. The video, which was filmed and edited over the course of several weeks, includes aerial footage of campus as well as interviews with students, faculty and staff.
