Discovering Pensacola's Past | inStudio | WSRE
Pensacola has long been known as one of the most historic cities in the country. But the story continues to grow deeper and richer with recent archaeological finds that hold even more information about the area’s significant past. In this edition of InStudio, host Sherri Hemminghaus Weeks and her guests will be rediscovering Pensacola’s ties to Spain.
UWF Research Assistant Tom Garner is the man who recently discovered the actual 1559 settlement site of Don Tristan de Luna near Pensacola Bay. UWF Professor of Historical Archaeology Dr. John Worth is the principal investigator of the site, which was the first, multi-year European settlement in the nation. Later in the program, Sherri is joined by Public Historian Nancy A. Fetterman, M.A., to discuss special recognition for Bernardo de Galvez, the Spanish general who defeated the British in 1781 in the pivotal Battle of Pensacola during the American Revolution.

Realities and Realms: Responsive Technologies in Ecological Systems, Part 2
The Realities and Realms colloquium focuses on the role of computation and robotics in landscape architecture and the expanding sensorial field of the built environment. These hybrid grounds of operation merge anthropogenic perception and technological mediation. As sensing networks expand, data grows exponentially in quantity and ubiquity, building an increasingly abstract landscape of information. How such data is elucidated, curated, and augmented forms new realities for design. This colloquium will explore design methodologies that address concurrent physical and virtual realms and the realities in which they operate.
In this context, a realm is a lens through which we sense an environment and a reality is place within which we take action. The Realities and Realms colloquium engages select practitioners, theorists, and academics for an afternoon to explore the future of responsive technologies to interpret and modify environment. Panelists will posit trajectories that frame the role of responsive technologies to imagine, choreograph, and evolve cyborg landscapes and synthetic ecologies.
The colloquium will be organized in two panel sessions followed by open discussions, exploring the tools, practice, theories, and futures of responsive technologies in landscape architecture.

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.
