Row Row Row your Boat - At which maximum speed?
Nir Shaviv
, Sat, 2006-04-01 12:23
The maximum speed of a rower boat is a classic example of the beauty of dimensional analysis. It was originally derived by McMahon (1971). Here it is brought again for the convenience of the Internet audience, together with updated rowing record data.
First, some assumptions (some are better than others).
Boats with different rowers are geometrically similar to each other.
The submerged volume of a boat, per rower, is the same and equal to
The power supplied by a rower is always the same and equal to
Second, we need to understand which physical processes govern the maximum speed of the rowing boats. The dominant drag force is that of friction with the water. Note that if the boat was larger or the speed faster, the typical
Froude number
would have been large. In such a case, the drag would have been governed by the generation of surface gravity waves (or "waves" for short). For a typical rowing boat, the Froude number is small and hence the effect of gravity waves is negligible.
Since the motion of the water is turbulent (there are vortices behind the boat), the frictional drag force is given by:
(This can be seen from dimensional analysis, the only "force" we can construct from the density of water
, the speed of the boat
and its dimension
The power lost to drag is therefore:
Since we assume geometric similarity, the size of the boat
will be proportional to the submerged depth, which itself should be proportional to the cubic root of the submerged volume. Thus,
On the other hand, the total power supplied by the rowers,
, should be proportional to the number of rowers
, each supplying a power of
At steady state, the power of the rowers should be the same as the power lost to drag. We thus find:
In other words, the speed of an
rower boat scales as
. The time it would take them to finish a race will therefore scale as
Different type boats will of course have a different prefactor, since
(the drag coefficient, which is the prefactor in the drag equation) are somewhat different. But for a given type, we should see this scaling behavior.
What happens if there is a coxswain? In such a case, there is an extra person who does nothing (well, from a physical point of view), except add weight and volume. This implies that now, the power supplied by the
rowers is the same, but the drag they need to overcome is larger:
Both results, with and without a coxswain can be seen in the graph.
[collapse title="World Records"]
World Record for different classes of rower boats over 2000m races, as a function of number of rowers (as
on Sep. 2004). Note that it is a Log-Log plot such that a power-law would appear as a straight line. The blue dots (and lines) are Men classes: Mnx, Mn-, LMnx, LMn-, which are rower boats without coxswains, while the green line is Mn+, i.e., with coxswains. n stands for the number of rowers. The short red dashed line is the prediction (up to a normalization) of t ~ N
. The long red dashed line is the prediction when a coxswain is present (with the same normalization as without). The two lines asymptotically approach each other for large N. [/collapse]
Evidently from the graph, the predicted scaling of
for rower boats without coxswains, and
with coxswains very nicely explains the observed world records. In fact, all are consistent with the prediction to within about 1.5 seconds or less!
Of course, given that we deliberately forgot all the prefactors (such as
), the absolute normalization can be estimated, up to an order of manitude. If we plug in typical values:
, we find that the normalization (i.e., the time for a one man rowing boat, over a D=2000m race) is:
In reality, it is of course around 400s. The discrepancy is mostly because
, multiplying the drag force, is actually small, only a few percent (e.g.,
about 2%
). Since
, a better estimate would be
as observed.
Another interesting point. if one compares the world records for men and women, of the same class boats, it is evident that women records are about 8% longer. Since the time is proportional to
, it implies that the best men rowers can deliver power from their muscles at a rate which about 8%*3 ~ 25% higher than the best women rowers. Men are about 25% stronger than women, but of course less pretty and often less smart as well.

"Not Deserving of The Colbert Bump"
I'm not sure California by Edan Lepucki deserved the Colbert bump. The book was featured a month before its release on The Colbert Report, when Stephen Colbert was reporting on the Hachette v Amazon dispute. The concept sounded fascinating. A husband and wife in California after the world has been desecrated. You never do learn what happened but it sounds like a combination of war, global warming, and society just breaking down.
So what's wrong with California the novel? Pretty much everything. The book doesn't really have the necessary elements of a good story. Like a beginning middle or end. The book is just there. You meet the focus of the book Cal (short for Calvin and also his nickname California) and Frida who are living in the wilderness after escaping Los Angeles. Without going into too much of the plot (or the minor resemblance's of a plot) its about their survival and the survival of those around them.
I was listening to the audiobook and kept looking at the time left in the book and was wondering when something was going to happen. Yet nothing ever really happens. Frida complains and Cal consoles, and their characters switch roles a few times, but in all honesty nothing happens in this book. Both characters come off flat, and just have little to no redeeming quality.
I guess that's my biggest issue with California. Where in a book like The Road you've got the main protagonists to root for in this bleak existence, I found myself not necessarily caring about what happened to any character in California. And then the book just ends. Rather abruptly going ahead briefly in time and then just ends. I listened to the ending a few times hoping that I missed something. Nope the book just ends and thus ends my review on California. An interesting concept that led to a lackluster book.
"Tower Snore"
Over the last couple of years I've started to really dive into the fantasy genre. One of the books I particularly loved was Blood Song by Anthony Ryan. I went into Tower Lord (the follow-up to Blood Song) with extremely high hopes. Unfortunately it didn't live up to any of the starting blocks of the first book.
I struggled to get through Tower Lord. The book takes place directly after the events of the incredible first novel. Unlike Blood Song which got off to a very fast start, Tower Lord is a slow trot that turns to a meandering pace. I'd go as far as to say Tower Lord becomes boring at times. There are too many stories, too many characters, and a complete lack of a cohesive story. If you by chance forgot anything from the first book don't plan on having any reminders, this book assumes you memorized the lore.
For me the characters of Tower Lord are what really fall flat. The second book of any series has the opportunity to really build the world and its characters and Tower Lord does none of that. Even the books main character Vaelin Al Sorna just comes across as a prototypical brute with no personality or complexity. As you can probably tell I was extremely disappointed with Tower Lord. So much so that I think I'm done with the series.
"Can Easily Finish in One Sitting"
I read a lot of Brandon Sanderson in 2014 (3 of my 26 books) and enjoyed all of them. On a recent Audible sale I picked up both Legion and Legion: Skin Deep without even reading the description of the book. After listening to the very short Legion I can say that its a very different Sanderson then I've ever read. Instead of his normal hardcore fantasy writing with complex magic systems, Legion is a relatively tame mystery.
The story follows Stephen Leeds who you meet at the beginning of this novel in his mansion where he introduces the reader to his many imaginary friends. Yes that's right he has a bunch of imaginary personas. These persona's are used to increase his intellect and solve a slue of mysteries. The first we're introduced to is a camera that can take pictures of the past. As long as its pointing at something it can take a picture of that spot throughout history. When the camera goes missing he boards a flight to Israel where the cameras inventor is trying to either prove or disprove Christianity.
Its a really great short story and one that I finished in a day. I cannot wait to read the next novel and see where the story goes. I hope it continues with this historical camera because it could have some major ramifications on both the world and Stephen Leeds.
"A Must Re-Read"
I read Night when I was in High School and absolutely loved it. It's one of the few books from my youth that I remember. That was over ten years ago and I was excited to start off 2015 re-reading Night. There is really nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. Hearing about Elie and his family, and his town willingly board these trains to the concentration camps even with a rabbi telling them about the Nazi's atrocities is one of the toughest things to read.
As you continue to hear about Elie and his fathers journey at Auschwitz it brings to life the horror of their experience in the concentration camp. I don't think any re-telling of these experiences hits as hard as Elie's re-telling of his time in his novel Night. There were times when I was listening to the audiobook that I would pause it or just turn it off. The novel hits hard and hits often. Just trying to imagine how you would survive something like a Nazi concentration camp made any stress that was going on in my life seem negligible. If you haven't read Night before or its been a while it would be a great idea to read it now.
"A Slow But Interesting Tale"
I absolutely love both The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. Its probably my favorite fantasy series of all time. So I knew going into The Slow Regard of Silent Things that this was going to be a major departure from those two. I guess I wasn't fully prepared for how different this would end up being.
The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a tale about Auri a side character in the first two novels who crosses paths with the novels main protagonist quite often. We always knew there was more to Auri then let on and this was Rothfuss chance to illuminate her as a character. In some ways it works and in others it doesn't. I found it enchanting that Rothfuss who reads the audiobook gives you a number of reasons not to purchase the book and then closes the short story telling everyone why he wrote it. It's a really odd tale and different then anything I've ever read before.
Its a very nicely weaved story that isn't what you would call plot heavy. There were times where I drifted off and others where I wanted to know more. Heck at the end of the day I still feel like I still only slightly understand Auri. She's still full of mystery and in a lot of ways I feel like I know less about her now then I did before. If you're a giant fan of the first two books then its worth a read, otherwise you probably want to stay clear of this one.
"Its the End of the World As We Know It"
I'm so conflicted on the entire Last Policeman trilogy. I purchased each of the three books in the hopes that it would build to a climatic conclusion. On paper these books are right up my alley. The world is coming to an end, and Detective Hank Palace is trying to figure out what to do with the remaining months of his life. The first two novels (The Last Policeman & Countdown City) were both good entertaining short reads. Nice appetizers in between some of my more meaty reads this year.
Out of the three books World of Trouble is probably my least favorite. Its not a bad book but I just found Hank's motives and mindset to be completely unbelievable. The fact that Hank is continuing to be a detective until the very last moments of humans existence doesn't even make sense. He has this vendetta to find a sister that throughout the novels never seems to really want to spend the remaining time alive with him. I also never got the feeling that Hank was a real person. He always felt like an ideal of a detective at the end of the world.
There were some interesting moments but I was kind of left without any emotion. I'm just not sure the idea of a detective at the end of the world made for the best story. I think it could have but this wasn't it. Still its a entertaining short read and a journey that although not exciting was worth the journey nonetheless.
"Completely Misses Its Landing"
In a lot of ways Revival by Stephen King is everything I both love and dislike about reading a Stephen King novel. There's no denying that King is a master story-teller. He's written some of my favorite novels of all-time (11-22-63 & The Stand) and even novels that weren't my cup of tea I still enjoyed because of how well he can spin a story together.
Revival is a novel that shows off yet again why Stephen King is the prolific author he is. Revival is about Jamie Morton who we get to see from age 6 all the way to his early 60's. His tale is intertwined with the minister Charles Jacobs and throughout his life you see the changes in both characters quite a bit. This is what Stephen King does really well. He develops characters to a point where you can connect with them even if you aren't necessarily enjoying the core story.
Revival's biggest issue is its ending. I can't really dive into it without spoiling the entire novel but I will just say that it completely botches the landing. The entire novel is building to this climatic conclusion and yet I was left scratching my head wondering how King thought this was a good way to end a novel. I don't need a happy ending. I just need one that makes sense. I enjoyed the ride of Revival but to be honest the journey wasn't as smooth as many of his recent novels.
"Haven't We Heard All of This Before?"
I'm a big Jim Gaffigan fan. I've watched an absolute ton of his stand-up and even read his first book, Dad is Fat. What I liked about Dad is Fat was that it was a nice blend of his stand-up routines and his life in New York as a Dad. It felt genuine but still made me laugh quite a bit.
Food: A Love Story is a rehash of much of Jim Gaffigan's stand-up routine. From the infamous Hot Pocket bit to his Cinnabon is like a bean bag chair that you can eat. If you've watched his stand-up a lot of his stuff is going to feel familiar almost too familiar. Some of the jokes were exact replicas of jokes from his stand-up. It felt like to me we got a copy and paste of many of his great jokes with some extra side commentary sprinkled in for good measure. I love his stand-up but I didn't need to purchase it in audiobook form as well.
It ended up feeling like a cheap cash-in. I hope it wasn't purposely put out that way but regardless its a hard book to recommend. Unless you've never watched any of his stand-up this is one I'd say your better off logging into Netflix and watching his stand-up over reading this book.
"Historical Fiction Set in a Time Travel Series"
After Game of Thrones, it was just a matter of time before a long fantasy series would get transitioned into a TV series. Outlander is that next series. I purchased Outlander to read before watching the show and in short, I'm glad I did.
I really wasn't sure what to expect. The trailers for the show made it seem like an action heavy time travel show. The book and its many variations of covers look more like a romance novel. In essence its a little bit of both. The novel follows Claire who travels back in time to 1757 in Scotland. What transpires is literally part love story part fantasy epic. There were moments in Outlander that I was captivated, and other times that I wasn't sure what all the praise was all about.
The book starts off really strong. Claire is lost in a world she's not familiar with and gets herself into quite a bit of trouble. Things do meander towards the middle portions and then come to a huge climax with a good portion of the book still remaining. I probably haven't mentioned but this isn't a short weekend read. Coming in over 30 hrs on the audio version there were times that the drives flew by and others when the book took its time.
Outlander might be a bit mushy for my taste, but it was still a really entertaining read. I found the characters interesting, but the world of Scotland in 1757 stole the show for me. Its a fascinating time in history, and one that I know so little about. You can see that future books are going to lean heavily on the historical events of that time period and for me that might be the books crowning achievement. Although not as steadfast as I was with Game of Thrones I think I will continue on with the series to see what trouble Claire gets herself into next.
"Entertaining Epic Fantasy"
I've been in a reading rut. Most of my reading over the summer has been middle of the road. In fact I'd have to look back all the way to May to find a book I really enjoyed. And finally that rut is over after just finishing Blood Song by Anthony Ryan. I literally just stumbled upon the book surfing GoodReads and found that the book was highly reviewed and decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did.
The novel follows Vaelin Al Sorna who at 10 years old was dropped at the door of the sixth order where he would be taught the ways of a warrior. The book is actually told from the perspective of Vaelin Al Sorna re-telling his life to a scribe similar to the way The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is written. It's a really nice trick to give you an idea of the main characters path making you far more interested in how he gets to his current destination. The book jumps back and forth between past and present but does it a very easy to follow manner.
My only real issue with Blood Song is the lack of character development. Where as in The Name of the Wind you get to know Kvothe, Blood Song jumps from training to battle scenes pretty quick and doesn't give you much time to really dig into the characters. Luckily Anthony Ryan makes up for some of the lack of character development with exquisitely written battle scenes and a world that is ready to be explored.
Blood Song isn't as deep of an epic fantasy as I would've liked but it might have been the most entertaining and one that sets up for what could be a remarkable series.
"A Hard Concept to Get Behind"
If a friend walked up to me and said, Joel you really need to read this book The Rithmatist. It's about a boy who goes to school at a university where half the students are Rithmatists. What are Rithmatists you ask? Well they draw circles and figures on the ground with chalk and fight each other. The book is about a boy who's not a Rithmatist but gets involved in an investigation on a few Rithmatist who have disappeared. I'd probably laugh and say something snide and completely dismiss the book.
And to be honest it would be a shame because behind this bizarre idea is a pretty good book. The story revolves around Joel (great name) who's attending the university for the best and the brightest after his father passed away in an accident many years before. When some students start to go missing Joel is there to help the Professor Fitch solve the mystery. There is nothing about The Rithmatist that's entirely new or original but its a good story. There are some good twists albeit not shocking.
The Rithmatist is classified as a young adult novel and some of the hindrances of that label hold the book back. There are so many fantasy novels with kids attending school that some tropes feel a bit overused. And yet I still enjoyed the short read and might even continue the series if/when the next book is released.

While ABC (activity-based costing) originated in manufacturing companies, many service organizations today are obtaining great benefits from this approach as well. Applying ABC to service organizations requires a keen appreciation of costing for committed resources. This chapter illustrates why managers need the information from an ABC model to make decisions about products and services they wish to offer, the customer segments they wish to serve, the method of delivering the products and services to those customers, and the supply of resources required for their products, services, and customers.
learning objective:
To discuss the application of ABC and ABM (activity-based management) to service companies like banks, telecommunications companies, and retailers.

Impossible Mission
Published by Developed by Released Platforms |
Genre Perspective Theme |
Not an American user?
In six hours the evil Professor Elvin Atombender's nuclear missiles will launch and destroy strategic locations on the earth. Only one agent can infiltrate his secret base and undertake this Impossible Mission.The goal of Impossible Mission is to acquire nine passwords and bring these to Atombender's Control Room in time to shut down the rockets. Unfortunately these passcodes (contained on punch cards) have been broken into four pieces each, and each piece hidden in computers, furniture, and waste bins throughout the base. On top of that Atombender has an entire army of robots patrolling the base. If a robot touches or shocks the agent then ten minutes are removed from the clock and the room is reset. The agent can jump over robots, but the only way to stop them is to expend a specific item on a room's computer terminal, and even that only disables them for a few seconds.
The 2007 release of the game has a few improvements over the original version, mostly to improve the graphics and make the game easier. The player can select one of three agents, although all of them possess the same abilities. Robots are now color coded according to what they are capable of doing (yellow only patrol, red patrol and shock, blue can follow and shock), but some aspects of each robot's personality can still only be figured out by watching or approaching them. Finally an easy mode has been added that adds an extra two hours to the clock and marks rooms which you have cleared out of items. The original mode with the original graphics can also be played, as well as a "mixed" mode that uses the old avatar graphics, makes all robots the same color, but keeps any other graphical upgrades.

While it is great that Net Neutrality principles, which means that they can't screw with your Internet service, may be put into effect, it belies the more pervasive problems -- you may not be able to afford (or want to pay for) that service or get that service or have a choice about who offers you that service.
Is it inevitable that TV stations suffer the same fate as their print counterparts? Will they too slash newsroom staffs, rely more and more on syndicated, national content and let advertisers encroach on editorial?
On February 26th, 2015, Verizon put out a press release claiming that the FCC's Net Neutrality decision was a "throwback that imposes 1930's rules on the Internet". And they put out an additional release in the language of a telegraph to reinforce this view point.
Once the entire Open Internet (Net Neutrality) rules are put out (we have only an outline as of this writing), you can expect a lawyers' banquet, a feeding frenzy where they will file and file and file.
Speaker of the House John Boehner announced today that his office will be launching an unprecedented probe into why bribes and kickbacks were not enough to secure a victory in the years-long, hotly contested, Net Neutrality issue.
This week's FCC action should bring a long-delayed victory for net neutrality. It's an important victory, without which the online world that we've come to take for granted would risk being auctioned off to the highest bidder. But this victory might never have happened without an unlikely political coalition a decade ago.
Verizon has told the FCC, the public, or anyone else who will listen, that imposing 'utility-style regulations', sometimes referred to as 'Title II", on broadband providers -- will harm investment.
On February 26, the FCC will do something that few have ever accused the government of doing. It will recognize reality and act appropriately. That, in a nutshell, is the debate over net neutrality. Just as plain telephone service connected people and was regulated, now it's data services. Calls or video are all just megabits. Telephone companies couldn't discriminate in their traffic then, neither should they or cable companies be able to play favorites or manipulate customers now. That basic, regulated fairness is what allowed the Internet to develop, a point some current opponents seem to miss, whether blinded by ideology or money. But if you listen to the anguished cri de coeur from the loyal defenders of the big telecom companies, you would think the FCC's action was a government coup d'interconnecter -- a takeover of The Internet.
Long story short, this is about saving the Net for regular people, versus providing privileges for companies that spend lots of money lobbying in Washington and misinforming the American public.
Google Wireless is going to disrupt the high end of the market with better plans and data options, and use that to sell phones directly to consumers that run an Android experience that, for the first time, Google can update and control easily.
Net Neutrality itself doesn't solve America's communications problems and we hope that the FCC decides to actually investigate our claims that a) Verizon failed to disclose that the networks are already Title II.
Good marketing follows certain universal truths. To succeed in an increasingly skeptical and fragmented marketplace, therefore, it behooves marketers to learn and apply these universal truths to marketing their products. One of the most important "truths" is the "power of three."
In the previous article, I laid out excerpts of Time Warner Cable's SEC-filed 2013 Annual Report which detailed TWC's profit margin (revenues minus ex...
It's hard to imagine that Apple's stunning profit report from last week is anything but good news, but i'm going to go out on a limb and say that what we've just witnessed is the beginning of the end of Apple.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation thinks Verizon could be violating a federal law requiring phone companies to keep customer data confidential. My take on all of this is that if nothing else, it's a clear violation of our personal rights.
The Public Interest has been tarnished, stained and harmed and it is time for a course correction of oversight, accurate data, investigations and enforcement of the laws. It is time to not only re-evaluate the public policies that govern communications services in America, but fix what's broken -- finally.

PRIMA's Inaugural "Gilda's Cup" Raises $3,500 for Gilda's Club of Rochester
Members of the St. John Fisher College student-run integrated marketing communications firm, The PRIMA Group, hosted the first annual "Gilda's Cup" at Fisher and exceeded their expectations raising $3,500 for Gilda's Club of Rochester.
With over 100 in attendance, the evening showcased the talents of five improv comedy groups including Fisher, Buffalo State, State University of New York at Oswego, and two groups from the Rochester Institute of Technology. The winning improv team was determined by a vote from the audience and Fisher's own "Two Cardinals and Some Nuns" took the Gilda's Cup!
According to Kathleen Marchaesi-Ciaraldi, adjunct professor and advisor of PRIMA, the objectives of this event were twofold. Individuals between the ages of 18-24 have the highest rate of new cancer diagnoses in Monroe County, and the group wanted to increase awareness among college-aged students of the support Gilda's Club Rochester offers to anyone impacted by cancer. In addition, they wanted to raise funding to support the much-needed services Gilda's Club offers free of charge.
"What started as a teachable moment turned into a wonderful collaboration," said Bob Russell, Executive Director of Gilda's Club Rochester. "You have no idea how proud we are of this association with The PRIMA Group of St. John Fisher College. It was plain and simple, a very memorable evening to be part of."
Marchaesi-Ciaraldi said the 20 PRIMA students worked "incredibly hard" the last few months pulling together myriad details to ensure a successful event. She also said that the opportunity to work with a real client has proven to be a great learning experience.
"PRIMA is not an ordinary club on campus," said Chloe Smith '16, Creative Director for the group. "We're a working agency filled with tech junkies, aspiring marketing gurus, and hyper creatives who are passionate about what we do for our school and community."
Garrett Sisson '15 took the lead in coordinating the collegiate talent.
"This event was a great opportunity for a number of schools across New York to come together and put on a show for a great cause," said Sisson. "The groups loved being a part of the first-ever Gilda's Cup and are excited to battle for the cup next year."
Plans are already underway for "Gilda's Cup 2015."

Night Flights With Glo Wire
Now that the days are getting shorter I've been thinking of outfiting a few planes for night flight.
I've been looking into the LEDs, but I was also looking at Glo Wire as well. Looks like they are ready for models...they have BEC connectors. Very cool. Anybody use this stuff. Perhaps you can post pics. I'm most interested in visability and duration. Thx. http://www.glowire.com/Merchant2/mer...tegory_Code=RM |
Aug 07, 2002, 02:55 PM | |
I read a report from someone using these on his Tiger Moth. He said they were too heavy though. His thread is here:
GloMoth I'm using a parkflyer light kit on my Tiger Moth, it consists of 3 LED lights- one red, one blue and one white. It works quite well. I posted a report some time ago with some photos here: How late did YOU fly tonight? I fly my setup right off my back porch at night. Visibility is excellent up to altitudes as high as I dare fly in daylight. The extra weight is insignificant. I'm flying my TM on a stock DX-A and it performs as good as ever. The lights do affect run time, my flights on li-ons are 40 minutes in daylight, 35 minutes at night with the lights on. I can live with that! |
Sep 21, 2007, 05:47 AM | |
I recently purchased the park flyer kit from Glowire and am really happy with it. taped the glowire to the wings of my homemade 38"ws cub. I like the fact the power driver works directly from the li-po battery. My plane flys fine with the added weight, and is real easy to see at night, having a blast with a bunch of guys flying after dark...

Longtime educator retires from Lewis & Clark
Tualatin's Vern Jones influenced students' lives for more than four decades
For 41 years, Vern Jones has molded young minds at Lewis and Clark College. But when classes end this spring, so will his teaching career.
Even as he retires, (Vern) retains the passion and intellectual rigor of a person new to the field, said Peter Mortola, professor of counseling and school psychology at Lewis and Clark. He holds high standards for himself, his colleagues and his students, all of which I think are seen as a respect for the capabilities of the individual.
In the past four decades, Jones embraced the wide array of jobs offered under the education umbrella. He was a teacher in the Parkrose School District in Portland, a middle school vice principal in the Beaverton School District, a director for Vancouver School District, a consultant in 25 states, Teacher Education Department chairman at Lewis and Clark, and the associate dean of Lewis and Clarks Graduate School of Education and Counseling. Jones was also a guest professor at the University of Idaho, Reed College and Portland State University. During this time, he wrote numerous books, articles and chapters about his practices.
When people said, Why are you going into education? I said, Why wouldnt you? recalled Jones. I dont think I can remember many days where I didnt come home and say, Wow, I made a difference today.
The difference Jones made spreads across the entire education field, colleagues say.
Many view Vern Jones as the guru of classroom management on a national and international scale, said Kasi Allen, associate professor of education at Lewis and Clark. His insights and classroom strategies have influenced thousands of teachers, thus shaping the school experiences of perhaps millions of children.
Jones turned around the way behavior is dealt with in schools, shifting the fault away from the student and looking at the system as a whole. Whats the peer community like? How are punishments dealt with? Whats the student/teacher relationship? Does the student know how to deal with emotion?
Jones acknowledged that while many children naturally know how to deal with emotions like anger, anxiety and frustration, some simply arent equipped with those skills. Much of his work focused on helping educators teach these skills that would help students in every aspect of their lives.
I think all children and young people should have the chance to feel good about themselves as learners and feel that school is a healthy, supportive place where they can be successful, Jones said. Thats what Im about.
He loved it enough that after all these years, the 68-year-old Tualatin resident never got tired of it. Though, he admits he did grow weary of consulting, which he gave up in 2005, but teaching was never a burden. As for his reason to retire, he said, quite simply, it was just time to move on.
Im going to miss the students. No question, Jones said. I love teaching. I will miss the teaching more than anything.
But, its not just Jones who will find himself missing aspects of the job. After four decades in the same place, his absence will leave a hole.
What will be missed (about Vern)? Wisdom. Expertise. Phenomenal sense of the big picture in education and what is going on across the U.S. collegiality. Laughter in the hallways, said David Ward, assistant professor in Lewis and Clarks Graduate School of Education and Counseling.
With all of his extra hours, Jones plans to catch up on the things he didnt have much time for during his career. Fly fishing. Golfing. Vacations. Spending time with his two grandkids. Writing for the sake of writing. Even at his busiest, however, Jones still made time for his family and his wife, a fellow retired educator of 37 years. He also managed to coach his now grown childrens soccer teams.
And at the end of the day, he can honestly say he wouldnt have changed a thing.
To do this for 44 years its not a bad gig, he said. In fact, I would have to say its probably the best possible gig.

Moonrise over Vrisgewaagd, Swartberg Mountains, Great Karoo – South Africa
For four consecutive days during early June 2014, at around 5 pm, I drove 25 kilometers along a winding, dusty road, from the town of Prince Albert to the Vrisgewaagd farm. The full, yellow moon appeared more intense and honey coloured than usual, due to its low angle above the earth's atmosphere, just ten days away from the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.
The solitude and tranquillity of the Karoo has to be experienced firsthand. The pastel hues and late lambent light reflecting off the Swartberg Mountains, create an enchanting and mysterious 'moonscape'.
In my landscape, the farm fence to the left is illuminated by the softening sunlight, while the sandstone rocks in the foreground and the gravel road leading in from the right, all harmonize to create a visual journey for the eye to follow, hold, and then fully savour.

Simple Linux IP Repeaters to Extend HomePlug Range
The most interesting result of our testing is, in addition to the repeater allowing communication beyond the HomePlug range, that it also enhances communications when two nodes barely can see each other. This is because the number of available HomePlug carriers increases.
For the sake of clarity, we assumed a configuration without an Internet connection in the parent subnet for our testing. First, we measured the response time and the throughput between two personal computers in a three-story building that could not see each other without the repeater in place. We tested both for UDP and TCP traffic. We used the Qcheck tool, a network-checking utility from Ixia. With a desktop-based repeater, we obtained response times for TCP and UDP traffic of approximately 100ms and throughput in the range of 2Mbps. This is realistic performance for medium-sized homes.
In a second test, we inserted the repeater between two computers that barely could see each other. The response time for both TCP and UDP doubled when inserting the repeater (50 to 100ms, approximately). However, the throughput grew from 1.5Mbps to 2Mbps.
We currently are testing the μClinux version on cards with a 100-BaseT Ethernet interface, such as the μCdimm ColdFire and the EV-S3C4530, both from Arcturus Networks.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

- It is easily digestible and has the lowest probability of causing allergic reactions.
- Bajra, being gluten free, is a very good food choice for those suffering from celiac disease who cannot tolerate gluten.
- It is highly effective and recommended for cases of severe constipation and stomach ulcers.
- The presence of phytic acid and niacin in bajra helps in lowering the cholesterol.
- Being rich in fiber content, bajra is good for diabetics, keeping the glucose levels normal.
- This whole grain supports weight loss as the high fiber content leads to a feeling of fullness for a prolonged period of time.
- It is helpful in maintaining cardiovascular health and in acidity problems.
- Bajra helps in reducing weight.
- It controls blood sugar levels and hence good for diabetic.
Excessive eating of these grains causes high uric acid deposits in the system. So people with kidney and rheumatic diseases should use it with care. As mentioned above, Bajra comes with immense health benefits and uses. If you have known the importance of whole grains, then you should make a conscious effort to include Bajra in your diet.

Refreshing Cilantro Lime RiceDon't see seven cups of water in recipe as mentioned. Two h20 to 1 rice might be better. Also would add grated lime rind to rice for more intense flavour. 1 tblsp salt is too high...1 tsp or none at all would better. — JerseyBlue 2/5/2011 |

Echoe ROM now has it's own website. Perhaps a response to XDA shutting them down for a day.... Echoe Roms | The Official Website SuperSlim v6 not ready yet...
Yes you do And we hold you in the highest regard for it! (would not say that we love you, because that would be awkward...)
Dont think i can wait much longer for ubuntu touch i may have to trade the s4 for the nexus soon xda-developers - View Single Post - Post your Phone Home Screen **BE APPROPRIATE**
Well it's all took off since I went to the wilds of Scotland with no Wi-Fi as for 3G (4G they have never heard of in Dumfries and Galloway I'm sure) that was non existent. Right I have a SGS4 on MGG stock Vodafone firmware, fresh out of the box Knox intact. Now just for you lot I'll flash v6 of echo ROM (after pre rooting of course) full fast version. I'll see if I've tripped Knox and take it from there. I'll download tonight and flash tomorrow (not at work till Monday now). I'll let you know exactly what I do and what happens. Then I'm open to suggestions. If Knox trips so be it, at least I'll be able to flash a recovery of choice without worrying about it, my intention is to try stuff that supposedly won't trip Knox until it does. I don't particularly want it tripped, but I'm not concerned if it does.
Good luck ol boy, if I'd known you were up my way I'd have said pop in for a cuppa, or whisky but then I'm an extra 40 mins from Dumfries..... Anyway, good luck on your quest What does everyone else think of the update? Is it much better than the 4.2.2 Roms and is echoe still working flawlessly for everyone?
#1.6 in Knox Security & locked bootloader on new firmwares might be of interest to you as you are, reluctantly, on Knox dyno.
Steady on sntaylor... we'll all be up there if you're buying! :beer: Been badgered by Hawker in to installing v6. Too early to tell for me. Bit of a rigmarole setting it up. I think the dev could have done a bit better on updating the add-ons. Otherwise, it seems fine. Worth giving it a go, IMHO.
I'm going to stick with v5. Getting trouble with the integrated apps, even after removing and placing into system apps. Eg. I have 2 versions of xposed, one that opens through the echoe option in settings, the other, the more updated one, in the app drawer, so I'm concerned view this is all tying in. I made a request on the thread (which was unanswered, no surprise on xda) for the extra apps to be installed as user apps allowing the end user to easily uninstall or subsequently update. I might carry the faux kernel over from v6 to v5, but unsure about what cpu app it needs, so I'll have to get to my pc and do some digging.
If I find the "Holy Grail" of stopping Knox tripping (which I doubt). I'll let you all know here. I've only just looked at where you are sntaylor. We went to Culzean (pronounced Cul-ain for the unaware) on Monday (the actual castle had shut for the season) , could have done with a "wee dram" after taking this panoramic shot on the beach there:
alrighty lads, before i take the 4.3 plunge, very simply, are there any decent advantages of going for Echo over my nice little knox free 4.2.2 MH8?
Its possible butty, but I don't think think so, as I removed all traces of apps, and I still couldn't reinstall them properly. I find it quicker to get to those apps via the app drawer (or even adding to homescreen by adding from the app drawer) than having to go into the echoe extra settings app. Anyway, I prefer v5 having the "system" apps that I want, and in the way they get bundled. I now have a single Xposed 2.3.1, a working adaway2.8 (although it did fail on the very first attempt to update) CPU spy, have manually installed light manager from the play store and are all available in the app drawer and are therefore much more easily accessible and updatable. Now contemplating putting Faux kernel and Viper mod onto v5.
Fair enough, but suppose you will be more snookered as further versions come out. Presumably future releases will all come in these packaged versions. Out of interest, when I originally went on echoe, I did a full wipe, including your nuke which cleared absolutely everything from my phone. Literally, everything!! So setting up echoe for the first time was completely from scratch. When I then decided to go back to mh1 and got myself in a complete pickle, I obviously wiped everything from my phone and started again. Then when I went back to echoe, I did a full wipe, and on reinstalling the echoe Rom zip, a lot of my apps and settings from my first echoe dabble reappeared. Still cannot fathom how these survived two full wipes.......
I'm hoping for v6+ they will have listened to many of the suggestions and requests, and will stop bundling 3rd party apps, or at least install them as user apps. As for things being carried over, they probably store some data in /sdcard and/or storage/extSdCard that did not get wiped.
Interestingly a new slim version has now been uploaded this evening, with no packaged extras or kitchen, so you add these as you want..... Perhaps they are listening to you Paul
Did you just say something old boy? Perhaps indeed butty. Just seen the "slim no kitchen" link on the website. How do you know it doesn't come with the packaged extras butty? I would think echoe v6 minus packaged extras minus kitchen, would essentially be v5 anyway?
Hi simes, I believe that the point of this echo Rom is that it is completely Knox free, so you should be able to flash to your hearts content
cheers sntaylor, im already knox free on Phoenix 3.0, was just wondering if i could expect a performance hit on 4.3 as opposed to 4.2.2, ie, battery, smoothness etc? not keen on the problems some people have had with restoring backups, modems not being recognised etc on 4.3.
Coz I flashed it! Absolutely nothing added, none of the new camera or gallery apps, no adaway or viper etc etc So yes, it's basically v5 super slim with faux kernel. Lovely and slim!! Gonna stick with this, I love the fact there's no crud, I can choose what to add and remove, and which versions to have....
Good to see them listening to us minions. I'm happy enough on v5, and as an unthemed un packaged un-kitchened v6=v5 I shall stick, but feel happier now for upgrading to future versions as and when the firmware base changes.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i wiped and went with the latest slim rom and loaded up all the latest 4.4 goodies i could find on XDA. It took me the best part of 2 minutes to go back to recovery and start again OMG what a joke, maybe im getting too old for this, but IMO it looks so bad. The Icons on Google launcher are HHHHHHHUUUUUGGGEEEEE and look absolutely Butt AWFUL, 4.3 camera is better, 4.3 gallery is better, couldnt get the always on google to work. WIPE, Flash All that took me less time to realise than boiling the kettle
