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.

Engaging Citizens in Governance: Jillian Johnson on Durham's Participatory Budgeting Process
Earlier this year, all Durham residents over age 13 had the opportunity to vote on how the city should spend more than two million dollars. In implementing a participatory budgeting process, Durham became one of the first cities in the South to test such an initiative and allocated one of the largest sums in the nation for a city its size. The Hart Leadership Program hosted Jillian Johnson, PPS’03 and mayor pro tempore of the City of Durham, for a conversation about Durham’s participatory budgeting initiative. Johnson was elected to the City Council in 2015 and helped lead the initiative. This discussion was hosted as part of PPS270 Lead the Way Durham, taught by HLP Associate Director Lalita Kaligotla.

SUMMARY
=======
The Research Triangle, commonly referred to as simply The Triangle, is a region in the Piedmont of North Carolina in the United States, anchored by the three major research universities of North Carolina State University, Duke University, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as the cities of Raleigh and Durham and the town of Chapel Hill. The eight-county region, officially named the Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill combined statistical area (CSA), comprises the Raleigh and Durham–Chapel Hill metropolitan areas and the Dunn, Henderson, Oxford, and Sanford Micropolitan Statistical Areas.
A 2017 Census estimate put the population at 2,156,253, making it the second largest metropolitan area in the state of North Carolina behind Charlotte. The Raleigh–Durham television market includes a broader 24-county area which includes Fayetteville, North Carolina, and has a population of 2,726,000 persons.The Triangle name was cemented in the public consciousness in the 1950s with the creation of Research Triangle Park, home to numerous high-tech companies and enterprises. Although the name is now used to refer to the geographic region, the Triangle originally referred to the universities, whose research facilities, and the educated workforce they provide, have historically served as a major attraction for businesses located in the region.
Most of the Triangle is part of North Carolina's second, fourth, and thirteenth congressional districts.
The region is sometimes confused with The Triad, which is a North Carolina region adjacent to and directly west of the Triangle comprising Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point, among other cities.
