Ahmed Nasser was there. He is 87 and, with the help of his son Yacoub, is still owner and proprietor of Athineos, one of Alexandria’s oldest and most popular cafes. At the age of 14, he left his small village to come to Alex. “Every summer,” he told me, “living in Alexandria was like attending a wedding. The king and his cabinet ministers would come here and we’d all be working together, we Muslims, Jews, and Christians, and no one wanted to leave because of the weather and the smell of the sea.”

This document outlines the migration process from ANGEL to Blackboard Learn at Niagara County Community College and Buffalo State College. It describes setting up a migration team and timeline, training administrators and faculty in phases, communicating the changes to students and faculty, and migrating course content between systems. Lessons learned and resources developed included guidance documents, training videos, and maintaining communication throughout the transition.

This document discusses strategies for increasing student success in online courses. It describes a project at SUNY community colleges that identified key risk factors for student persistence and retention in online courses. These include late registration, poor advising, student demographics, course engagement and design, and being a first-time online student. The document then focuses on an introductory web technology course that saw completion rates increase after implementing strategies to increase the instructor's teaching presence through tools like video introductions, discussion feedback, and reminders. These strategies engaged students more in the online course community.
NCCC's Quality Review Project: A recipe for successLisa Dubuc
Lisa Dubuc is the Coordinator of Electronic Learning at SUNY Niagara County Community College. She has over 14 years of experience designing and teaching online courses. The document discusses NCCC's Quality Review Project which uses an adapted Quality Matters rubric to conduct a voluntary peer review process of online courses. The goal is to improve course design and increase student success, engagement, and retention. Faculty who participate in the review gain new ideas and recognition. Data shows improvements in student outcomes after courses are revised based on review feedback. Dubuc shares resources and tools used at NCCC to support online teaching and learning.
There are three main types of consciousness: sensory awareness of the outside world, direct inner awareness of internal thoughts and feelings, and sense of self or awareness of one's own existence. Sleep occurs in five stages, with stages 3 and 4 being the deepest sleep. Several common sleep problems include insomnia, nightmares, night terrors, sleepwalking, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy. Altered states of consciousness while awake can be achieved through meditation, biofeedback, and hypnosis. Drugs like depressants and narcotics slow down the nervous system and induce relaxation or sleep, while stimulants like nicotine, amphetamines, and cocaine increase nervous system activity and produce feelings of pleasure, increased
This document provides information about Lisa Dubuc and her work coordinating online learning and assessment at Niagara County Community College. It summarizes Dubuc's experience developing online courses and her current role leading the college's Student Learning Outcomes Task Force. The task force was charged with creating a campus-wide course assessment plan in ANGEL to evaluate programs and services in response to accreditation standards. The document outlines Dubuc's recommended process for using ANGEL to map course content to student learning outcomes, run assessment reports, and record results in a rubric to facilitate program improvement.

The document summarizes several destructive hurricanes that hit the United States in 2004 and 2005. It describes major hurricanes like Ivan, Jeanne, and Frances, which caused over 100 deaths and billions of dollars in damages across Florida. It also provides information on tornadoes and thunderstorms, including the Fujita scale and stages of thunderstorm development.
The DTExtm method allows simultaneous analysis of changes in gene expression levels of 145 ADME-associated genes using a microarray. Total RNA is converted to cDNA and labeled before being hybridized to the DTExtm microarray. The method can survey basal gene expression levels and coordinated changes in expression levels caused by drug treatment in various cell lines and tissues. Rifampicin treatment of human hepatocytes showed induction of genes such as CYP3A4, UGT1A1, and ABCB1 in a coordinated manner mediated by PXR activation. Benzoflavone treatment also coordinately induced CYP1A2, UGT1A1, and ABCC2 through AHR activation. DTE
