The Compact refrigerator has plenty of space for everything you need in a compact refrigerator. I can hear the compressor at times, and do wish the bottom draw would hold its self up when open. Other then that its perfect for what I need. Door has a can holder, and different size shelves. You won't be disappointed in the amount of room this compact has. My big fridge won't be delivered for 2 week and this compact is getting the job done with ease.
Sad to have to write this but this little refrigerator is just too darn noisy for us. The bubbling and gurgling noises are probably normal, but it also emits a fairly loud metalic clicking (or "clunking" or "clinking") noise which we haven't quite figured out yet. It can startle you if you're not expecting it... and it occurs frequently. Could be some noisy relay or thermostat maybe? Anyway, the unit is holding temperature okay but it does seem to be short cycling in my opinion. Not a very good sign for a unit only one week old with no frost build-up. We'll give it another week or two to see if we can get used to the various noises. Otherwise, it's going back. We expected some noise. Just not this much and this distractive kind of noise.
Bought in a rush because our main fridge quit. Now we use it for drinks and overflow. this was reasonbly priced and looks nice.
The unit cools quickly and is great for drinks.
i needed a small fridge for water and sodas...this is the perfect size...
received it april 5 2013 in great condition works great love the styling
I bought this to replace my 15 year old compact refrigerator. Everything was good until I plugged it in when the compressor started to make a loud clanking noise. This only happens when the refrigerant runs through the compressor. I sent it back and got a replacement. The new one doesn't make the loud clanking noise but still makes a humming noise that comes from the compressor. It's not as loud but still loud enough to be annoying. AVOID this product if you can.
I'm sorry, one customer had problem changing the door to the left side. I had no problem, door seals perfectly. Love it!!
well built nice so far
I hold the SuperBowl party every year for the past 20. Bought this little baby before the last Bowl. I'm a mechanic so I changed the door to the left hand side no problem. Leveled it properly, put a little vasoline on rubber seal, works great!
I live in a house with a family, so I like to keep my food, and ice cold beers in my own fridge. I take out the middle rack and can fit nearly everything I need to feed myself in there and it keeps just fine. Ive owned it for about 2 and a half years and ave only had to de-ice it 4 times I believe, and it is working like a champ! The only complaint is the freezer is not completely cold, while it will keep my salmon, bread, and small packaged items frozen, my ice cream had to go in the big freezer. But the split fridge is also available! I'm sure this will run strong for a few more years! Great Buy!
it works great and it is very quiet. The price was great

Newer udev (180+) is attempting to force /usr to be mounted *very* early
in the boot sequence. No other software has this requirement, and it is
going to break LVM2 users that have a separate /usr. Our official
documentation recommends this, even today:
Now that it is unmasked and unleashed on ~arch users, this might result
in an attempt to stable it. I would like for the council to decide on
whether a separate /usr is still a supported configuration.
If it is, newer udev can not be stabled and alternatives should be
investigated. If it isn't, a lot of documentation will have to be
updated. (And an alternative should likely still be provided)

Theistic Evolution
Theistic evolution is the teaching that God used natural evolutionary processes to bring life to its current level of speciation. Theistic evolution would deny the specific creative act of God in bringing the person of Adam, who would be the first human and the representative of mankind, into existence.

text: Recorded in 1966, Otis Redding's In Person At The Whisky A Go Go is his best live album, beating out Live in Europe, and is one of the best and most energetic live albums ever made. The album kicks off with the great I Can't Turn You Loose followed by Pain In My Heart, from Redding's first album. This is followed by the soulful plea of Just One More Day and a great version of his earlier hit Mr. Pitiful. The recording of Satisfaction on here is even better then the version on Otis Blue, and easily rivals the Stone's version. This is followed by three great soul songs, I'm Depending On You, Any Ole Way and the great ballad These Arms of Mine. Reddin then goes into a kickin' version of James Brown's Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, which at least as good as the original. The album closes with the classic Respect. This is just a tour de force performance and you can feel the energy coming off of it. This prooves just how great of a voice Otis Redding had and just how soulful he was. This is an essential album in Otis Redding's catalog and in the history of Soul and R&B.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Joubert, Yvonne Trijntje URN etd-02222012-111732 Document Title Organisation team sport interventions to minimise diversity constraints in the workplace Degree MCom Department Human Resource Management Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof H de Beer Supervisor Keywords
- diversity management
- diversity
- communication
- organisation team sport
Date 2010-07-02 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe main aim of this study is to explore and determine the effect of an organisation team sport intervention on a number of diversity constraints in two financial organisations. The diversity constraints relevant in this study are race, ethnicity, generation gaps, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, parental status, education and income. The main aim is to determine whether organisation team sport interventions impacted on the participating employees' relationships, trust and respect towards one another, despite their differences in culture, age, gender and religion. The study was conducted among 26 employees of the two financial organisations that participate in organisation team sport. The data were collected by means of focus group interviews and individual interviews. The results indicated that a strong bond is established between employees in the organisation during organisation team sport. Employees are encouraged to share information, which leads to increased productivity. Business relationships can be created whilst talking sport, attending sport events or playing sport. The conclusions was made that organisation team sport is therefore a vehicle for creating opportunities to share goals and visions, improving individual commitment, improving cohesion, increasing trust and respect in a workforce, improving communication between employees and enhancing employees' knowledge of other employees. The contributions that organisation team sport makes to an organisation are all requirements for effective diversity management in the workplace.

Lose weight with meals conveniently delivered to your home.

- Stock Symbol: NTRI

Nutrisystem is one of the most recognizable names in weight loss and has rightly earned its place among the top diets. Founded in 1972, Nutrisystem has helped millions of people lose weight on its convenient portion-controlled meals. This program takes the guesswork out of dieting and many people find it to be an easy approach to healthy weight loss.
The brand is one of the first diets to earn its marks by offering a hassle-free way to lose weight with its meal delivery service. The diet plan takes care of the majority of grocery shopping, cooking and portioning by delivering meals and snacks that are calorie-controlled and pre-prepared. All you have to do is heat and enjoy, supplementing with a few fresh grocery store items. Nutrisystem originally offered only pantry-ready foods, but in 2009 added a frozen line of meals; combined the two lines offer more than 150 menu options.
In 2014, the company unveiled Nutrisystem My Way, its new, customized plan for each individual's metabolism. All new Nutrisystem customers will be enrolled in this personalized program, which calculates a person's metabolic rate by taking into account a variety of factors including age, sex, weight, and level of physical activity. (Prior to this program, the diet had two levels—one for men and one for women.) As part of the new My Way plan, Nutrisystem is also offering a one-week plan called Fast 5, which is being marketed as a low-calorie (1,000 a day) weeklong "jumpstart" to the program that guarantees a weight loss of 5 pounds in the first week. These results were confirmed in a clinical study.
The Nutrisystem diet is personalized to meet individual health goals and consistent with national guidelines for dietary intake meeting targets for fat, sodium, sugar, cholesterol and fiber as well as national guidelines for physical activity. All the foods are portion controlled and rely on a balanced approach by offering low glycemic index eating, to control blood sugar, that is high in protein and fiber, for satiety.
There are a range of plans at varying price points that are tailored to suit different nutritional needs, with those specifically for men, women, teens, people with diabetes and vegetarians.
Plans and meals are selected and ordered from Nutrisystem's website or by phone. You'll receive 28 days worth of food that comes in pantry-ready and or frozen containers that you simply heat before eating. Some grocery purchases will need to be made for items like fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, whole grain bread, fish, and more.
When you sign up with Nutrisystem, you'll also receive access to a Mindset Makeover behavioral guide, a 13-week online plan to help you better understand your relationship with food. It provides steps for taking control of your eating habits. Nutrisystem customers also have online access to health information, community support, weekly newsletters, smart phone applications, and tracking tools. Additionally, you receive complimentary, optional counseling from trained weight-loss coaches, registered dietitians and certified diabetes educators.Nutrisystem Videos

I tried nutrisystem in 2008 and lost 28 pounds. It was the only diet I ever went on that actually worked,yes it is a little expensive, with the veggies and dairy but if you stick to it it works. - Lori 6/28/11
I've been on NS, the diabetic program, for 3 months. I've lost 35 pounds and my blood sugar has come WAY down (from mid 200's to low 100's). And I don't find the food unpalatable at all. You can customize your order, so anything I don't like I just don't order again, and anything I like I order more off on the next shipment. Customer service has been excellent, and there is a huge member support that is extremely helpful. Plus, I AM learning how to eat properly to keep the weight off when I reach goal. Yay, Nutrisystem! - Betty 6/16/11
it absolutely works if you follow it correctly. It is easy to follow as well, but the food is horrible!!! There are only a few things that are tolerable, and even if you customize your order you will get extremely tired of eating those same things over and over. They have a plan where you get these other foods added that are frozen. They are WAY better, but you only get a couple of weeks worth of it then your back to eating the other horrible food. Totally not worth it. I've tried it three times because I did lose the weight, but I couldn't handle the food. - Whitney 5/17/11
The portion sizes are sooo small. It's not possible to just grab and go. To feel satisfied you have to add fruits and lots of vegetables. It's not as mindless as I thought it was going to be. Fruits and vegetables are expensive. Overall it works because your fat/calories are so restricted and because no one wants to wstet all the money they spent on the program. I didn't mind the food. I have don't have gourmet taste or anything. No worse than the frozen/dried meals in stores now. I will probably not buy another month worth of food. Could have probably lost weigt eating lean cuisines, protein bars etc. I think nutrisystem is a good jump start to a diet and healthier eating. - TB 1/21/11

Whenever people sign up for a meal delivery diet, the big question is "What can I eat?". With Nutrisystem, there are more than 150 meal and snack options to choose from, to include pantry-ready and frozen meals. Muffins, roasted vegetable pizza, stuffed shells, macaroni and cheese, chicken noodle soup, chicken parmesan, and tacos are just a few of the entrees, while snacks include bars and pretzels. Dessert isn't out of the picture with options like oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate, ice cream and whoopee pies. All of this is complemented by a few grocery purchases, including fresh fruits and vegetables. Each Nutrisystem meal is pre-packaged and prepared to the appropriate portion size. Many items are ready-to-eat but some require heating.
All of the Nutrisystem meals are low on the glycemic index and contain a balanced proportion of quality carbohydrates (50%), good fats (25%) and protein (25%). Meals are also low in sodium and trans fat. All of this allows customers to maintain blood sugar while maintaining a feeling of fullness, or satiety, between meals.
The women's program contains about 1,200 calories and the men's contains about 1,500 calories per day, but these numbers may change depending on your current weight, age, and activity level. Each day you'll eat three meals and and two snacks with the addition of six servings of fresh fruits and vegetables. You can either custom select your own meals or choose an automated favorites meal and snack menu. Pantry-ready foods do not need to be refrigerated; however, fresh-frozen meals ship in a cooler and must be frozen until ready to prepare.
A typical day on the Nutrisystem SUCCESS program includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, one snack and a dessert. Below is a sample menu from the Nutrisystem Select option, which features some fresh-frozen items:
Breakfast: Granola Cereal or Honey Wheat Bagel

I think Nutrisystem is great...for a start. It basically sets limits on what you eat (if you follow it, of course) and decreases caloric intake. Low glycemic index is also important in keeping insulin levels down (high levels lead to fat storage). In combination with an exercise regiment and some willpower, you will lose the weight. The important part is changing your lifestyle by eating less, eating healthier, and exercising more.
Some of the food is pretty bad and you are forced to eat vegetables so you don't starve but it is a good regime and if you stick with it you will lose weight. I have!
Is Nutrisystem better than Medifast?
Deb - I actually (kinda) liked the food. Maybe I am weird but I thought it tasted pretty good.
The food is terrible. Chocolates are good and some entrees. Most is pretty bad. You lose weight by not being able to eat the food, I guess.
Don't forget to exercise! I gave this a shot and I was doing well. But once I gave up on the workout it all came rushing back.
All thumbs up here! I've been doing this for 8 months and lost almost 25 pounds. My goal was 35 so I'm almost there! Food is great- don't feel hungry and its tasty.
I dig this diet! Food is tasty and i'm losing the weight i want!
This sounds promising. Cut out the chore of cooking, meals sound deelish and get snacks during the day. All I see are positives- any negs I should know about?

Kenyan security forces and foreign forensic teams are examining the scene of an attack by Somali militants on a Nairobi shopping mall that killed at least 72 people, authorities have said.
Joseph Ole Lenku, Kenya's interior minister, said on Wednesday several bodies of al-Shabab fighters might be under the rubble in Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall and that the government now believed that at least 10 of the attackers had been killed.
Lenku's remarks came as forensic teams continued to go from room to room in an attempt to secure the complex, a day after the 40-hour siege by the armed Somali group that killed dozens ended.
"It is an elaborate process," he said.
"Among the things that are going on now are fingerprinting, DNA identification [and] ballistic examinations."
Kenyan community comes together after mall siege
Lenku said the evidence collection would take at least a week.
Forensic experts and investigators from Britain, the US, Israel, Germany, Canada and Interpol have joined the probe, he said.
The siege began midday on Saturday, when al-Shabab fighters marched into the building, firing from automatic weapons and throwing grenades.
Although the situation inside the mall on Wednesday was not considered secure, a city morgue official said his workers were preparing to go into the building soon.
Officials said the death count would probably rise. Estimates varied between only a few bodies to dozens of bodies possibly still inside the mall.
Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons, reporting from Nairobi, said: "Some are predicting it could go well beyond the hundred mark, possibly even double the death toll."
National mourning
Against this grim backdrop, Kenya began three days of national mourning for the victims of the attack on Wednesday.
President Uhuru Kenyatta told the nation the night before that the attackers had been defeated.
Fears persist, however, that some of the attackers could still be alive and loose inside the rubble of the mall, a vast complex that had shops for international retailers, as well as banks, restaurants and a casino.
For its part, al-Shabab has accused the Kenyan government forces of using chemical weapons in their assault on the building, then carrying out "a demolition'' that buried 137 hostages.
In a series of Twitter posts from an account believed to be genuine, al-Shabab said that "having failed to defeat the mujahideen inside the mall, the Kenyan government disseminated chemical gases to end the siege".
They said "to cover their crime, the Kenyan government carried out a demolition to the building, burying evidence and all hostages under the rubble".
Manoah Esipisu, a government spokesperson, dismissed the accusation, telling the AP news agency that no chemical weapons were used and that the official civilian death toll was still 61.
He said several floors of the mall collapsed after a fire started by al-Shabab fighters caused structural weakness in a third floor parking lot, which then came down onto the second floor and brought it down onto the first or ground floor.
"Al-Shabab is known for wild allegations and there is absolutely no truth to what they're saying," he said.

Jews, Poles & Nazis: The Terrible History
The major Jewish armed rebellion against German rule in the General Government, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of April–May 1943, had aimed not at survival but rather at the choice of the manner of death. It had involved a certain alliance between Poles and Jews, but one that did not endure. The Warsaw branch of the Home Army had given Jews a substantial part of its modest weapons cache. Seven of the first eight armed actions taken by the Home Army in Warsaw were in support of the ghetto. This was symbolic: as everyone knew, the Home Army in Warsaw could not have saved the Jews of the ghetto in April 1943, even had it devoted all of its troops and weapons to this purpose. After the Ghetto Uprising was crushed, Home Army commanders failed to enlist surviving Jewish fighters. Thus even Jews with combat experience found themselves hunted in occupied Poland in 1943. Jews had to fear not only the Germans, but also local units of the Home Army who (on several documented occasions) shot them as bandits or (on a few documented occasions) shot them to steal their belongings.
From the perspective of the Home Army, 1943 was the year of an irresolvable dilemma: the Germans were losing the war, but the Soviets were winning it. In February the Red Army had dealt the Wehrmacht its first major defeat, at Stalingrad. Henceforth, the Home Army had to resist the Germans while preparing for the arrival of the Soviets. German propaganda drove the point home that April, revealing that the Soviets had shot thousands of Polish officers at Katyn. Stalin used the revelation of his own mass murder as a pretext to break diplomatic relations with Poland.6 This was an unmistakable sign of imperial ambition. If Stalin would not recognize the legitimate Polish government during a common war against Nazi Germany, why would he endorse Polish independence after a Soviet victory?
Some Home Army commanders feared that arming Polish Jews would ease the spread of Soviet power. Though this sometimes took the form of an anti-Semitic stereotype of the Jew as Communist, the concern was not entirely unjustified. The Polish Communist party was part of the Jewish Combat Organization, which the Home Army had supplied with arms. The man who negotiated those arms transfers, Aryeh Wilner, was also negotiating with Communists. The Jewish representative within the Polish government department charged with rescuing Jews, Adolf Berman, was also in touch with the Communists. (His brother Jakub would later preside over the Communist security apparatus that would persecute Home Army veterans—including those who had aided Jews.)7 For the Home Army, the Soviet advance meant the arrival of a dubious ally against the Germans as well as an impending threat to Polish independence. For Jews it meant life. This basic difference in perspectives, a result of the Holocaust, was difficult to overcome.
For Jews at Starachowice, only labor counted. As Browning masterfully reconstructs daily life within the factory camps, he reveals what Jews knew about their fate and the limits of their local perspective. When typhus broke out, for example, the Germans at first simply shot the Jews who were infected. So long as Jewish labor was available for rent from the SS, shooting sick Jews was the economically rational thing to do. As the war continued and the number of living Jews plunged, the Germans treated sick Jews rather than killing them. Jews remembered this as a change in the camp regime; Browning recalls the larger causes.
In late 1943, Heinrich Himmler liquidated most of the camps in the General Government where Jews were used as labor, and had tens of thousands of Jewish workers shot. The directors of Starachowice sacrificed some of the women and children to Himmler, but preserved the men. Because their business was making arms, they could evade the policy of murdering all Jews. Only the Red Army's successful offensive in June 1944 forced the closure of the factory camps at Starachowice. In July the Jewish laborers at Starachowice were sent to Auschwitz. Mortality rates in one of the railcars was high, but not only because of the transport conditions: some of the stronger prisoners took the opportunity to beat the members of the camp council to death.
The Red Army was disarming Home Army units as it entered eastern Poland. The Home Army's only hope seemed to be an uprising against the Germans in Warsaw, timed to exploit the Soviet advance but precede the actual arrival of Soviet troops. The aim was to liberate Warsaw from German occupation by Polish efforts, and to install a Polish government before the Red Army arrived. In late July 1944, as the Wierzbnik Jews were sent to Auschwitz, the Red Army approached Warsaw. On August 1, 1944, the Warsaw Uprising began. The Home Army fought the Germans there for eight weeks: a longer battle than either the Polish campaign of 1939 or the French campaign of 1940, and with casualties comparable to both. As Dariusz Libionka and Barbara Engelking demonstrate in their pioneering study, Jews took part in the battle, most of them in the Home Army.8 Some of these were people of Jewish origin who regarded or presented themselves as Poles and had been in the Home Army all along. Others were veterans of the Ghetto Uprising. More were survivors who left their places of shelter in Warsaw in order to fight, seeing it as self-evident that they would help Poles fight Germans. As Michał Zylberberg put it, "The Poles had risen to fight against the mortal enemy, and it was our obligation, as victims and as fellow citizens, to help them." The Warsaw Uprising was a major example of armed Jewish resistance to the Germans during World War II. Indeed, it is quite possible that more people of Jewish origin took part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 than in the Ghetto Uprising of 1943.
The Warsaw Uprising, like the Ghetto Uprising before it, was defeated. The Home Army, like the Jews the previous year, fought essentially alone. Stalin forbade Allied air drops when they might have helped. The Germans held the line at the Vistula River, and the Red Army halted. Some of the most brutal German SS and police formations defeated the Polish resistance in Warsaw, killing at least 120,000 Polish civilians.
These people perished not only because German forces were ordered to kill them, but also because Joseph Stalin allowed them to die. The Red Army was indeed halted by the stubborn German defense at the Vistula, but its encampment there for five months must be understood as a political act. It doomed the Poles (and the Jews) who were fighting the Germans in Warsaw. The Germans killed people who, as Stalin knew, would also have resisted the imposition of Communist rule.
The Germans were able to empty not only Starachowice, but also the last ghetto in occupied Poland, in Łódz´. In July 1944, Łódz´ Jews knew that the Red Army was nearby, and thought they could be liberated in a matter of days. Some 67,000 Jews were transported from Łódz´ to Auschwitz while the Warsaw Uprising was taking place. Whereas the Wierzbnik Jews were not subjected to a selection at the ramp at Birkenau, most of the Łódz´ Jews were gassed upon arrival.9
By the time the Red Army finally reached Warsaw in January 1945, the Wierzbnik Jews, Łódz´ Jews, and other Jews were being marched from Auschwitz to labor camps in Germany, where they would remain until the end of the war. This ordeal was deadlier for the Wierzbnik Jews than Starachowice and Auschwitz; hundreds died in a matter of a few months. After the Red Army took Berlin in May, Polish- Jewish survivors found their way to displaced-persons camps in Germany. A few dozen Wierzbnik Jews were able to return to Poland and their hometown, where they were greeted with ugly threats from the Poles who had stolen their houses. In June a few returning Wierzbnik Jews were murdered by Poles. One Jew was beheaded. In Poland as a whole, hundreds of Jews were murdered by Poles in the months after the war was over.
Browning concludes from this horrible finale that the goal of the Polish underground was the end of Jewish life in Poland. He adds that the Polish nation was defined in opposition to an enemy image of the Jew. As Browning acknowledges, it is not at all clear that members of the Home Army committed the murders and robberies in Wierzbnik; the Jews upon whose testimony Browning relies could not have known this. However that may be, it is misleading to discuss Polish political aims only in the light of these events. If Polish patriotism was simply a matter of hating Jews, why did the Home Army fight the Nazis with such determination?
Officially, the Home Army was fighting for constitutional liberal democracy and equal rights for all citizens; what its victory or indeed what democratic elections would have brought to Poland we will never know. After intimidation campaigns and faked elections, Poland became a Soviet satellite governed by a Communist regime. We owe the description of the Home Army as a reactionary nationalist clique to Soviet and Polish Communists, whose forces defeated its stubborn remnants, tortured its best officers, and hanged its last commander after a show trial.
In Stalinist Poland, only Communist resistance to the Germans was recognized as such; everything else was fascism. Communists had no difficulty whatsoever in conflating the people who had fought the Nazis with the Nazis themselves. The Ghetto Uprising was celebrated as Communist (though it was not); the Warsaw Uprising was denounced as fascist (though it was not). Yet we owe the stark separation of the two events to national as well as to Communist politics. The Ghetto Uprising is a founding myth of the State of Israel, and the Warsaw Uprising is a founding myth of today's post-Communist Poland: this, too, keeps the two events further apart in memory than they were in history.
Though the record of the Home Army toward Jews is ambivalent, the dark legend must be abandoned. Important as Jewish testimonial material is to the history of the Holocaust, the recollections of Jews who spent years in camps cannot serve as the basis for historical reckonings with the Home Army. If its history were to be written from Jewish perspectives, these would have to include those of people such as Chaja and Estera Borenstein, who volunteered as nurses at the beginning of the Warsaw Uprising, or Marian Mendenholc, who died trying to rescue Polish comrades right at its very end. It would have to allow for the experiences of Jews such as Stanisław Aronson. Fighting in the most celebrated unit of the Home Army in the Warsaw Uprising, Aronson stormed Umschlagplatz, from which he himself had been deported to Treblinka two years before. Then he and his Polish comrades liberated a concentration camp on the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto, and freed several hundred Jews.
That said, the pristine legend of an unblemished Home Army, cultivated by Polish veterans and patriots, is also unsustainable. There was distance between soldiers in the field and declarations from London, variation among regions and units, reluctance to see Jews as part of the Polish nation, insensitivity to the particular dangers faced by Jews, and occasional outright murder. Getting the balance right is not just a matter for Jews and Poles. The Home Army was the most significant non-Communist resistance movement in Nazi-occupied Europe. Those who regard opposition to Hitler as a measure of morality will have to take its history seriously.

Physics and Astronomy Education Research
Physics Education Research (PER) and Astronomy Education Research (AER) faculty at Cal Poly Pomona combine the fundamental "knowledge about learning" and the "discipline specific knowledge of physics" to investigate ways of making the teaching and learning of physics more effective. PER and AER faculty conduct research, curriculum development, and instruction to improve student conceptual understanding in physics and physical science from elementary through college. Our faculty study questions of how students learn in both lower-division and upper-division classes in Physics and Astronomy, and how to develop, implement, and test the effectiveness of pedagogical learning strategies and technology designed to maximize student learning.
About the Faculty
Associate Professor Homeyra Sadaghiani has a broad range of research interests including:
- Design and implementation of web-based instructional technologies and study of Hybrid-online and flipped classroom formats.
- Effectiveness of different curricula, course transformations, and pedagogical strategies.
- Measurement of scientific reasoning ability and conceptual understanding of physics content.
- Effectiveness of different range of scientific inquiry approaches in preparation of prospective and practicing k-12 teachers.
- Conceptual and mathematical barriers to students learning quantum mechanics.
Her recent work involves comparing two different approaches in teaching quantum mechanics: "wave-function" (starting with continuous basis) vs. "spin first" (starting with discrete basis). She is also working on the development, validation, and statistical reliability tests for a new multiple-choice Quantum Mechanics Assessment Tool, which measures student learning of basic quantum topics. Her experimental techniques and analyses include student interviews, diagnostic tests, attitude and motivation surveys, exam question and video analysis.
Professor Alexander Rudolph conducts both AER and PER. His AER work has focused on learning in large, general-education (GE) astronomy classes, known collectively as Astro 101. He was part of a team led by Dr. Ed Prather of the Center for Astronomy Education (CAE) at the University of Arizona that conducted a national study of Astro 101 classes including over 4000 students in 69 classrooms at 31 universities. He has also studied the role of textbooks in the Astro 101 classroom.
Dr. Rudolph's PER research has focused on the introduction of interactive learning strategies into the French university physics classroom. While on sabbatical in Spring 2012, he led a study of student learning in two large (many hundreds) enrollment introductory physics classes, second semester mechanics and introductory electromagnetism (E&M) at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) in Paris, France. Dr. Rudolph also conducts research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, and is the Director of the CAMPARE research program for undergraduates.

Take Two for January 7, 2013
Study shows classroom design can have significant influence on kids' grades
Tami Abdollah/KPCC
Superintendent John Deasy walks through an economics classroom at Los Angeles High School during a surprise visit.
When it comes to student performance, we hear a lot about teacher evaluations and class size, but what about the classroom itself?
A study in this month's Building and Environment Journal found that classroom layout can have a significant influence on children's grades, both positively and negatively.
Here to explain is the study's lead author, Peter Barrett, who teaches architecture at the University of Salford in England.

Oct 10 - John Balli, CEO of Kinderhook (N.Y.) Bank, announced that well-known Albany banker, Jeff Stone, has joined Kinderhook as its new senior vice president, retail and business development effective Oct. 3.
Jeff is highly regarded in our banking community and will play a significant role in achieving our strategic growth plan of becoming the premiere community bank in the Capital District, said Balli. His depth of knowledge, experience, relationships and expertise is just what Kinderhook Bank needs as we embark on our new path. Everyone here is excited that Jeff has joined our team and were all ready to get to work.
Stone was with Key Bank, N.A. for his entire 35 year banking career before a restructuring saw him leave his job as district president of the Capital Region. He began with Key in 1978 in Lowville, N.Y. In 1982, he opened and managed the banks Ogdensburg branch. From there, he worked in a number of upstate New York markets as well as in New England and the Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan area before coming to the Albany area in 2008.
This is an exciting time for Kinderhook Bank, said Stone. Being able to help a team grow is what I love to do. Kinderhook is a strong local bank, with solid asset quality. They have committed their resources to the Capital District and the time is right to grow.
Stone will be working alongside Balli to fulfill the banks strategic growth plan. He will be responsible for increasing Kinderhook Banks visibility, scouting new branch locations, overseeing all of the retail banking operations and marketing the bank. My job is simple, said Stone. Its to help grow the bank.
Weve created this job for Jeff because we know hes the right person to do this job, said Balli. Were investing in the future of the bank. Jeffs past experience will help us chart the future of Kinderhook Bank.
Stone sits on the executive committee of the Center for Economic Growth. He is also the vice-chair of the Albany Medical Centers board of directors where he also serves as chair of the finance committee. He also serves on the boards of the College of Saint Rose, the Palace Theater and the Totman Medical Research Foundation. He lives in Waterford with his wife, Diane. They have two daughters, Katie who is 28 and Brianna who is 26.
Kinderhook Bank has remained an independent community bank since 1853. It is a local bank with local leaders making decisions that help the financial well-being of our local consumers and businesses. With deep roots in the community, Kinderhook is changing the face of banking by changing the banking experience. The banks flagship branch in East Greenbush provides innovative banking technology in an intimate, concierge space where staff is on the floor greeting customers and delivering them the services they need. The bank provides public computers, even ones dedicated for children so they can be engaged while their parents bank, and a fine hotel lobby-like experience with comfortable seating and open space.
Kinderhook Bank has six branches in Columbia, Rensselaer and Albany Counties. The bank stock is traded OTC (NUBK).

Web of Deception: Fox News Head Helps Fund Clinton's Campaign
From our tips jar: Web of Deception by Joseph Culligan is reporting Peter Chernin has given Hillary Clinton $4,600 and Dems $12,500. Presumably on purpose.
Is it real? And if it is, does it matter? As one news organization might say, "We report, you decide."

Site Redesign
- Posted by Johanna on September 25, 2007 at 7:44 am
- Category: Meta
You may have noticed a simplified design at the website as of last night. While testing my new smartphone, I realized that the previous layout wasn't friendly to small screens or alternative reading methods. So I dropped the left column, making the new content the first thing a reader will see, no matter the presentation. Index lists (categories, recent posts) were moved to the bottom of the page, resulting in a simplified right sidebar, and I removed the top banner ad, because it annoyed me. As always, comments are welcome.

Looks good to me. Less clutter is always better. Never really thought about people that view pages on phones. You could have used a different style sheet to display the page though. They can be set up to load depending on if the person has a mobile or certain resolution or whatever you want really.
Either way, looks good to me.

As a mobile web developer, I can say that these specialized CSS are very unreliable, and their support is limited to a very short list of mobile phones (and let's not get started on the use of external CSS, which is rarely a good idea on mobile phones…)

Historic Waterfront Home SOLD
Sebastian Home
5 Bedrooms / 4 Bathrooms / Sleeps 1
I am a retired yacht captain having lived in Florida most of my life. Me and my better half have been working on private yachts together for well over 20 years. This industry has left us both with a good sense of what guest expect for their money and the care taken to maintain their yachts. This is apparent in the maintenance of the house and the details in the needs to make anyone's stay more enjoyable. I'm sure you will not be disappointed in what you find.
Our favorite spot in the house is the front porch where sitting looking over the water watching wildlife and boats go by reminds us of my many years of living on the sea. It's a peaceful and tranquil place with a real "good feel" to it. The kind of feel you can only get from a house that has aged with true happiness ingrained into its wood floors and surroundings.

EXCLUSIVE: Getting to Know an LA Times 'Gossip' Queen
Our report last week about the record-breaking August numbers for LATimes.com included the rather remarkable stat of 3.5 million page views registered by the relatively new blog "Ministry of Gossip." So we thought we'd check in with Christie D'Zurilla (pictured), the USC print journalism and chemistry major (!) who runs the site. She began her career at the Orange County Register before landing at the Times feature-entertainment copy desk in 2003.
"When we started the blog from scratch, the idea of hitting a million monthly page views seemed outrageous," D'Zurilla tells FishbowlLA via email, "until we did it the first full month out of the gate (thanks, Tiger Woods and Adam Lambert). One of the coolest things about our August numbers and what they represent is that our readers came for a variety of stories across the board, rather than spiking on some huge scandal that broke on a holiday weekend."
D'Zurilla, who shares the Ministry page with fellow blogger Matt Donnelly, references one of his recent items as an example of the fringe benefits that come with increased traffic. "I was the first person to hunt down and interview the Old Spice Guy, Isaiah Mustafa, in February 2010. Back then, it took eight days before anyone found the story and picked it up–even counting our LAT compadres."

Blurty for Nicole.
|Wednesday, June 2nd, 2004
Here I go. I'm officially ditching you, blurty. No matter how much I've bitched, you've been good to me... you can reach me here http://www.livejournal.com/users/plusizebarbie/
Pretty much the same thing except just starting over and I will actually be part of a community, much like this was in its glory days.
|Sunday, May 30th, 2004
I'll come home 15 pounds heavier. It's my goal.
And I love how the one weekend I CAN'T use my phone is the weekend I sadly read the list of 12 missed calls... god you guys.
--delete this part...---
I want a boy. I want to go to LJ. I want to keep blogging, maybe I'll make one where no one knows about it because then I can stop feeling like a loser, updating 24-7.
OOOOHH!!!!! For a graduation present I get a trip to Australia. Or wherever else I pick, but for the moment it's snorkeling in the great barrier reef and chasing kangaroos and wallabies... I'm so freaking excited. And then the year after that I go to Japan with Michelle for her grad gift. Or possibly a tour-de-europe thing, she's got an extra year to decide so I assume I won't know for a while... anywhere she picks will be awesome, but probably not as awesome as Australia! WOOOO!!!!!

Blue Stem for the night, then I'm gone for a while. Grandpa's back in the hospital so we are leaving tonight... I hate this. Garrr... I hate seeing this. I want to stay here and be oblivious to that... Man, I go and think about it and I'm sorta on the devistated side, but I will not let it ruin tonight, I'll just let it ruin this weekend. I'm glad I'll get to see him... ooooh lord.
Call and leave me something light and funny. Seeee ya.
Gooooooooddddd.... Totally avoiding the homework thing. Normally this time of year I'd be pulling double duty to make up for my half-assed job all year long, but I'm still not trying, even with 5 days left. *cock*
So here I am, blurtying and drooling over the image update, as usual, at 330 in the morning... no one writes on blurty anymore so as of June 5th, one year to the day (I think?) from when I started this, I'm switching to LJ because I'm the only one that uses this and no one comments here. It actually pains me because I'm so accustomed to here and new things scare me, but this is sad other blurtiers, I feel like I carry any sort of community we may have on my back, with the nothingness of these posts. So, although I will not do an "I offer this, my resignation" symbolic post, I will just quietly slip over to the dark side one fine day and you will be left with nothing, fellow blurtiers, except to actually write stuff of your own. Bwa ha ha!
Shit! English! Lord of the Flies! Craaaaap!

|Wednesday, May 26th, 2004
I think I really just didn't want to go to school... and boy did I pick the most wonderful day to skip.
I had an Adam dream... pretty sure he said Chyna was really hot and he didn't have a clue who I was. Go figure.
Gettin' my first taste of summer... this is niiiiice.
|Tuesday, May 25th, 2004
Howard actually told customers the reason he has to raise prices is because butter costs so much. In the words of Ashley, TWAT?!?!?
And I realize I spend almost 90 percent of my time not working and doing things like stealing food, running away from Howard and bitching and moaning. In the words of Peter Gibbons "I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."
3 more years until I can wait at a real restaurant with no Franks and people that come in with shit in their pants. Speaking of Frank, I totally take back my "Pablo has a Frank-vibe" statement. Pablo's cool. He's super perceptive and my new best adult friend.
--edit-- I'm not home this weekend. I have to leave. I would be the worst person ever if I didn't go. I feel guilty because I'm so upset that I'm have to go and I had such big plans for this weekend. And I completely forgot about work. The one time I really can't afford to lose any money and I'll be out an entire weekend worth of shitty tips. May have to budget the last weekend of school, count me out of anything expensive, I'm still worried about a car... Fuck fuck fuck. Back to stress. --/edit--
Trying to convince myself that I'm a lesbian. I think I might be almost there. Damn it would be so much easier if Chyna and I really COULD go out. Alas, even the sexiness that is Feeb doesn't seem to be enough to change my adoration for the males.
Rudely awakened. Shower. Hair. Car. School. Boys. Nap. Boy. School. Bus. Home. Popcorn. Change. Work. Home. Sleep. <---> My day in a nutshell.
It's so pretty out. Wish I could go dance in this gorgeousness. In fact, here I go...
|Monday, May 24th, 2004
Yep. Irresponsible me. I'm a big selfish bitch, I am. Like it makes any difference whether I tell you the second the car breaks or 10 years from now, it's not like you'll help me any faster. Yes. I am selfish. It's what I do. I don't have anything else to fucking do except hate my life and suck at everything I do because the rewards for being productive and good are so fucking minimal that I'd rather be a huge fuck up, at least that's fucking fun.
I'm taking the out, I'm gonna fuck up the rest of this year and hopefully have a huge blast doing it. 8 days of hell and then I'm out to screw it all up even more this summer. Fuck you, I'm officially emotionally and mentally detatched and unaffiliated with anything that happens to me for the next 3 months. Good luck, Nicole.
Like always, I hate this about myself but I'm just to tired to even attempt to change right now... maybe I can hit some sort of rock bottom.
10 minutes later ... [edit] Yeah, I don't even remember writing those words, I haven't been that upset in a really long time. In typical scorpio fashion, I'm quick to anger yet quick to all but forget what I was raging at moments before. I hate these posts but I'm leaving it here for shits and giggles. I'm still tired and when I say words out loud they come out screechy and pinched but at least what I write isn't a huge incoherent mess right now. I'm going to go read some more of my steamy romance novel and then fall asleep. ::/edit::

What a busted night. He chased me up the stairs and out the door and to my car and somehow that just wasn't good enough. What the fuck would I be happy with, if I get what I want and then all of a sudden it's not enough?
I think I'm just going to be mad at him and call it that, instead of me really not wanting to hang out with him. I'm failing that chemistry part, and it's okay... BLAAAAAHH!!!! Just not comfortable enough around you for anything to work. Maybe I'm used to fitting, maybe I just need Dave back. Ooooh... shit, good Idea Nicole. Take back the ex of 2 years ago, that's what you need to move on to a new relationship. Fuuuuuuccckkkkk this.
I slept through last night... not sure that I needed it, but since I was on self- and rain-imposed-lockdown and didn't really feel like doing anything stupid or like being online anymore, I just went to sleep and woke with the ring of whoever felt like calling me. Drunk Nathan called, and I talked to him and Drunk Cavan for about 45 minutes... I'm amazed at how comfortable I am talking to Cavan but not to Nate... this is new to me. Maybe there really IS no chemistry? Ahhh, fuck chemistry, at least I'm passing now. No wonder I'm not good at it, I'm missing eleven assignments.
Dave called about 13 times. Wanted me to hang/sneak out. I went back to sleep instead. The end.
And so I also slept through most of the awesome rainstorm. I did go out and eat spaghetti in it, I'm pretty sure it made it taste better. I didn't know anything about a tornado until this morning. Hmm...
Work in a few hours, Big Fish until then. I'm boring bye.

New boy at work... gaaaaaaahhhhhhhh..... Brad. Brad the Sex God. Yummyness in the smelly department, and he smells so good and the cologne he wears is kickass and he's so smellerific. Hehe. I jumped on Loretta (easily 70 years old) and said "There's a new one for me to play with!" and she laughed at me for like 10 minutes. I feel like Lennie. I want to hug him and squeeze him and play with him, George, can I put him with the rabbits?
Lindsay is the biggest fuck-up on the planet. I told Pat (the Cook) this and he said "she's not a fuck-up" so I said "okay, she's a cock-up" and he looked down and said "no it's not" and I laughed and laughed and laughed. I thought it was days worth of funny, coming from Pat and what not.
Brad is hot, I am sore and smelly, and I want to borrow someone's hottub for a few hours to de-cramp my legs and then sleep a lot. Sorry Cole, I don't think I'll make it to your show.

Yes, I'm sure you remember it that vividly. Vivid... Cool word. Stupid story.
Had a good day... I'm seriously rethinking this "it's okay to fail" attitude because I REALLY don't want to take second semester of adva-algebra over again. Fuckin shoot me before I have to learn about... fuck, I don't know what we've learned about, I've been sleeping for 3 weeks. Maybe I'll just go back to sleep.
And I do realize boys are my weakness and I want one for my very own really really soonly, I may have to go crazy if I don't get one. I don't even care which one anymore, I just want that undivided boyfriendy attention that I havent had for... 2 years. Gasp. May have to just tattoo SPINSTER across my forehead right now and get the rest of my life all squared away on the "pathetic and lonely" path.
Contradicting my vow of solitude and independence and converative reserve I made only a few days ago (I will fall on my face and break my neck):
I'm calling him tonight... I told him I want to talk to him, but now I have to go and figure out what I want to talk about... hey you... mumble mumble... awkward silence... I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!

Oh my god. Best night of my life. I've never sang in front of so many people and never felt so good about anything I've ever done. I didn't know I was capable of feeling this accomplished... my mom even cried. I wish Nathan would have seen and I wish I could tell him what I want to. Alas, I'm doing that giving up thing and probably won't ever tell him how much he means to me before I run out of time and he graduates. 10 days.
I'm so proud of me. I haven't smiled this much in a long time. I can't wait for the dvd of it. This is what I want to do. This is what I WILL do. I just couldn't be happier...

I think that annorexic people should wear negative sizes to encourage them to get fatter. Because who wants to be less than nothing? You've got to be a real big loser to suck so much to be negatory. Come on people, be positive!
I've given up. On school, yeah, I gave up on that months ago, but on other stuff too. I'm only stable when I'm not upset by outside influences, so if I quit putting myself out there then I can stop being vulnerable to getting squished. I really don't like getting squished and lately the payoff for my "balls to the wall" attitude has been really shitty so I'm just going to go back to being me, although I might add a dash of "reserved and socially acceptable" to the mix just so I can go unnoticed and not attract anything unwanted. No, scratch that, it's COMPLETELY wanted but maybe just not right now. I want something... meh. I'll just live without, I'm sick of getting close and then stuff falling apart. I shall be a rock of independence and completely happy with what I could be missing... because I wouldn't have it for long enough to be happy with anyway.
I think fat people should get really really really long self-help books and then they could read those instead of eating. But knowing fat people (me), they just eat and read at the same time... maybe we should just lock them in a room and make them sit the fat off. Fuck exercise, if you sit there long enough without any food, your body will just eat its fat away.

Bel Canto. Those words encompass so much about myself that I adore and will grow to love (even though I don't know how it's possible to out-do last night on the love scale) and I've never been more proud of myself and happier about how my life is going than to experience last night. Thank you, Seniors, I can safely say that was one of the best nights of my life. There are just no words to describe what I feel for you and for the choir and for what the next 2 years of my life will hold. Thank you. A million times over, thank you. This will be incredible and I'm so excited to get started but I'm already so sad to see you guys go and to know that in such a short time I'm going to be initiating and unwilling to blow out my candle too... Hurrah for bittersweet endings and for brand new beginnings.
Ever feel like you are choosing who you want to be by the choices you make? I'm so glad I'm here because THIS is what I want to do and THIS is who I want to be.
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Eww, Nicole, gross, such bad, bad taste you have. Very disappointed in you.
So much fun though, isn't it? *sheepish grin*

Property Name:
Mar-Va Theater
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
103, Market Street (MD 675), Pocomoke City, Worcester County
The Mar-Va Theater is a two-story, three-bay building constructed in 1927 of brick laid in stretcher bond. The principal (west) facade is basically symmetrical, and reflects classical influence in recessed panels defined by narrow rusticated brick pilasters, a dentiled brick cornice, and parapet. The four-door front entrance is topped by a metal marquee hung by linked chains fastened to the wall. On each side of the front entrance are small shopfronts, and separate entrance formerly used by black patrons is located at the north end of the facade. The second floor is characterized by paired 9/1 sash windows in each of the end bays, and a tripartite window in the center bay composed of a 9/1 sash window flanked by narrow 6/1 sash windows. The top of the facade features a dentiled brick cornice running below a stepped parapet wall, which is highlighted by a light colored brick panel. The parapet has a flat masonry cap. The north and south sides of the theater, laid in seven-course common bond, are largely covered by the adjacent commercial structures. The tops of the parapet walls, capped with terra cotta tiles, descend slightly in graduated steps. The back end of the structure, as is typical of theater buildings, rises an additional story for the hanging storage of stage sets and curtains. The interior reflects an extensive redecoration carried out in 1937 in the Art Deco style. The stage is flanked by narrow silver columns and Art Deco embellishments enhance the side walls. A coffered pressed metal ceiling remains in place along with metal and wooden folding seats. Under the stage are dressing rooms formerly used by stage performers.
The Mar-Va Theater is significant as an example of an early-20th century theater building, the only example of this resource type surviving intact in Worcester County. Its conservative, functional brick exterior is typical of commercial architecture of the period in the Eastern Shore region; its Art Deco interior, the result of a 1937 remodeling, reflects then-current national fashion in theater decor, and speaks of the management's desire to present an up-to-date, "metropolitan" image. The building retains character-defining plan features associated with its function, including ticket booth, vestibule and concession area, auditorium, stage, and dressing rooms; in addition, a separate entrance, lavatory, vending machine, and balcony seating area were provided for black patrons during the era of racially segregated accommodations.
