Measurement of inertial and noninertial properties of an air suspension gyroscope61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17348View Description Hide Description
We report results of careful measurements of the periods for clockwise and anticlockwise precession (T c and T a ) of an air suspensiongyroscope. These periods were measured for various values of the frequency of spin f between 10 and 70 Hz. In our experiment T c and T a had a small, but significant, dependence on the current I which provides the magnetic field used to sustain the spin of the gyroscope against air friction. The measured periods depend linearly on I. The periods T c0 and T a0 obtained by extrapolation to I=0 are in good agreement with theoretical values: in particular, we find (i) T c0+T a0 (which is predominantly an inertial property dependent on the earth's gravitational field) is proportional to f, and (ii) T c0−T a0 (which is a noninertial property dependent mainly on the Coriolis force) is proportional to f 2, as required by theory. It is suggested that the dependence of T c and T a on I is associated with a torque provided by the magnetic drive which constrains the spin axis of the gyroscope to lie in very nearly a horizontal plane.
The Wall of Death61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17349View Description Hide Description
Much to everybody's surprise, it was recently demonstrated that according to Einstein's general theory of relativity, very close to a compact star or a black hole the centrifugal force may attract towards the center of a circular motion. We show here that Newtonian theory predicts exactly the same effect, and that the geometrical reason for it is identical in both theories. The centrifugal force always repels in the local outward direction. However, in a curved space (or on a curved surface) in which the perimeter of concentric circles decreases with the increasing diameter, the local outward direction points towards the global center of the circles, and thus the centrifugal force attracts to the center.
Kepler's third law and the oscillator's isochronism61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17350View Description Hide Description
Two classes of differential equations which have Kepler‐like and oscillatorlike elliptical orbits are shown to have generalizations of the conservedangular momentum, energy, and Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector (Jauch–Hill–Fradkin tensor for the oscillator case). Both possess a generator of self‐similar transformations and the related period–semimajor axis relation is a generalization of Kepler's third law in which the constant of proportionality depends explicitly on the eccentricity of the orbit.
Standing waves in air columns: Will computers reshape physics courses?61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17351View Description Hide Description
It is often argued that the introduction of computational physics into undergraduate courses will, in time, change what is taught. This paper presents a supporting example, taken from the field of musical acoustics. The vibration of the air columns inside wind instruments, of any but the most idealized shapes, is a sufficiently difficult analytic problem that the subject is rarely treated in ordinary undergraduate courses. A simple computational treatment of the problem is presented that demonstrates many features of importance to real musicians: the effect of mouthpieces and bells, the positioning and sizing of fingerholes, and the production of multiphonics. The ability to treat previously intractable problems like this may enable acoustics to regain a place in the ordinary curriculum and allow its potential as an intuitive model for related systems to be usefully exploited.
Quantum mechanical squeezed state61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17382View Description Hide Description
The squeezed states appear in different fields under different forms. Compact operator expressions are given and some of their properties reviewed with the connections between different contexts clarified.
Adiabatic invariance derived from the Rund–Trautman identity and Noether's theorem61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17383View Description Hide Description
The generators of the infinitesimal transformations that lead to adiabatic invariance are derived from the Rund–Trautman identity by solving the Killing equations for a fairly generic class of models. Noether's theorem then yields the conserved quantity, which for periodic motion with period T is 〈H〉T, where 〈H〉 is the time average of the Hamiltonian over one cycle. Further it is shown that if 〈H〉T is adiabatically invariant then so is the action ∮pdq, as the two differ by an invariant constant. Our approach (1) requires essentially no new concepts beyond those of a junior‐level mechanics course, (2) shows how adiabatic invariance fits into the larger picture of the general connection between invariances and conservation laws, and (3) not only confirms and generalizes the results of Boltzmann, Clausius, and Ehrenfest for what is adiabatically invariant, but also predicts the rescaling transformations that lead to this type of invariance.
Laser Doppler velocimetry using a bulk optic Michelson interferometer: A student laboratory experiment61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17384View Description Hide Description
The Doppler frequency of reflected light from a moving mirror is measured using a Michelson interferometer and a low cost spectrum analyzer. The experimental data for the Doppler frequency are in agreement with the calculated theoretical values with a standard percent error of 0.54%. The concept of optical mixing of a phase‐modulated signal with the Doppler signal is presented, with a derivation of the resulting detected signal power, using the small phase modulation amplitude approximation. An experiment is described using laser Doppler velocimetry to heterodyne the Doppler signal with an acoustic wave. The experiment provides a good illustration of the Doppler effect, spectral analysis, and principles of optical mixing and interferometry in an advanced undergraduate laboratory.
Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker method for electron band calculation of the Kronig–Penney model61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17437View Description Hide Description
The Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker or the Green's function method for electron band calculation is illustrated using the Kronig–Penney model.
Experimental determination of normal frequencies in coupled mechanical oscillator systems using fast Fourier transforms: An advanced undergraduate laboratory61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17385View Description Hide Description
An experimental method for determining frequencies present in complex oscillating systems is given. When an oscillating system is attached to a force transducer, the time‐varying force is converted to a voltage. Using an analog to digital converter, a PC/XT samples 1024 points. A fast Fourier transform is performed which gives the frequency or frequencies present in the signal. Results are reported for several coupled systems of mass and spring combinations. In each case the experimentally measured frequencies agree to within 1% of the theoretically calculated values.
Optical path difference measurements with a Michelson interferometer using a frequency modulated continuous wave ranging technique61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17333View Description Hide Description
A measurement technique is described which utilizes a frequency modulated AlGaAs semiconductor laser to measure the optical path difference (OPD) in a combination free space‐fiber interferometer. The modulation technique employed here is referred to as frequency modulated continuous wave and has been exploited for many years in radar systems. The intent of this paper is to present the fundamentals of this technique as applied to a specific semiconductor laser, and to give a basic procedure for OPD measurements. In addition, the modulation characteristics of the laser are analyzed in terms of an optical frequency deviation given as both a function of time and driving current.
Canonical transformation to energy and ''tempus'' in classical mechanics61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17334View Description Hide Description
In classical Hamiltonian dynamics for a system with a single degree of freedom a canonical transformation is made to new canonical variables in which the new canonical momentum is energy and its conjugate coordinate is called tempus. This canonical coordinate tempus conjugate to the energy is not necessarily the time t in which the system evolves, but is a function of the original generalized coordinate, the energy, and time t. For conservative systems tempus reduces to the time t, and the equations reduce to the Hamilton–Jacobi equation for Hamilton's characteristic function. For periodic or almost periodic systems, the energy and tempus canonical variables act as a bridge to the action and angle canonical variables. Hamilton's equations for the action and angle variables in the adiabatic limit involve a generalized Hannay (or geometrical) angle. A pendulum with a length varying in time is treated as an example.
Double pendulum: An experiment in chaos61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17335View Description Hide Description
We describe an experiment which takes advantage of the surprising complexity of one of the simplest physical systems, the passive double pendulum. For large angle swings sensitive dependence on initial conditions, the signature of chaos, may be demonstrated and quantified in a very direct way. Small angle experiments and zero gravity experiments (with the pendulum swinging in a horizontal plane) may also be performed. The angles are measured very precisely and reliably using optical encoder wheels, and data are acquired and displayed using a personal computer. The experiment is suitable for the undergraduate laboratory.

What is ClassDojo?
ClassDojo is a communication platform that helps teachers encourage students in class and engage parents. In the classroom, teachers use ClassDojo to give students encouragement (or "feedback points") for showing critical skills or strengths - ones like persistence, critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership. They use the ClassDojo App or the ClassDojo Website - if multiple devices are used, they will all sync with each other. Beyond the classroom, teachers use ClassDojo to engage families. Teachers can instantly message parents with text-based messages, pictures, videos, and stickers, and also add posts to Class Story and School Story - a private feed of moments from the classroom and school that only parents, verified teachers, and school leaders can see. Teachers can also let parents see how their children are doing at school by sharing their student profiles to highlight the feedback points they've earned.
Parents access ClassDojo using a unique code provided by their child's teacher, or through an email/SMS invitation directly from the teacher. Parents can only view their own children's progress, not those of any other students. Students can also create their own account, but can only tie that account to a class after they receive a unique code from their teacher; if they're under 13, they'll need to have parental consent or notice (as applicable) in order to access certain features of their account. In the student account, students can, for example, see feedback given by their teacher, as well as customize their ClassDojo avatar - a cute monster that represents the student on ClassDojo.
When students set up a ClassDojo account, they create a unique username and password. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), we ask for their age, and if they are under 13, we also ask for a parent or guardian's email address to request parental consent. We don't ask students to enter any other personal information.
School Leaders also play a meaningful role on ClassDojo. They can share notes, photos, and videos on School Story - only parents connected to classes in the school can see these posts. School Leaders can also create classes, share classes with teachers to give feedback to students and message with parents, plus see Highlights - a high-level overview of all the feedback and engagement happening within their school.
More information on how the Service operates is located here and your participation and use of the Service is governed by our Terms of Service ("Terms").

How does ClassDojo protect children's personal information?
Protecting children's privacy is especially important to us - we're educators and parents ourselves, after all. This is why we've signed the Student Privacy Pledge and received TRUSTe's Children's Privacy Seal, signifying that this Privacy Policy and our practices with respect to the operation of the Service have been reviewed and approved for compliance with TRUSTe's Children's Privacy Program. COPPA protects the online privacy of children under the age of 13 ("child" or "children"); for more information about COPPA and generally protecting children's online privacy, please visit OnGuard Online.
What information does ClassDojo collect from children, and how is it used?
ClassDojo collects the minimal amount of information from students necessary to create accounts on our Service: we ask students to provide a unique username (we advise students not to use their real names), a password, and the unique code they have been given by their teacher to connect with a class. Consistent with the requirements of COPPA, we also ask for the child's age, and a parent or guardian email address from the child so we can seek verifiable parental consent or provide parental notice (as applicable). We will not use parent emails provided this way to market our Service to the parent, unless the parent has opted in to email marketing or has separately created an account on our Service. Beyond this, the ClassDojo student account does not allow the child the ability to upload any other content to their account, or enter any other personal information. In addition to the information entered by the child, we automatically collect some information from any use of our Service as set forth in the "Information collected automatically" section.
We use this information to provide the Service to the child, for security and safety purposes, or as required by law or to enforce our Terms. We will not require children to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary in order to participate in the Service. If we discover that we have collected information from a child in a manner inconsistent with COPPA, we will take appropriate steps to either delete the information, or immediately seek the parent's consent for that collection. We do not disclose any personal information about children to third parties, except to service providers necessary to provide the Service, as required by law, or to protect the security of the Service or other users. Information collected from students (including personal information and information collected automatically) is never used or disclosed for third party advertising, including any kind of first- or third-party behaviorally targeted advertising, and children's personal information is never sold or rented to anyone, including marketers or advertisers.
We also receive from the child's teacher whatever name he or she has provided for the student, and the feedback points assigned by that teacher. Teachers can choose to provide full names for students (e.g., first name and last name) when setting up their class; they can also opt to only provide non-identifying information (e.g., just first name, only initials, or even just seat numbers).
ClassDojo has been certified by TRUSTe, an FTC-approved COPPA Safe Harbor, for compliance with TRUSTe's Privacy Program and Children's Privacy Program. We don't ask for or require children to provide personal information beyond that which is reasonably necessary to use ClassDojo. Information collected from students is never used or disclosed for third party advertising or any kind of behaviorally-targeted advertising, and it is never sold or rented to anyone, including marketers or advertisers.
Push Notifications
ClassDojo may send push notifications to students - for example, letting them know when their weekly report is ready, or telling them about an achievement milestone they reached! We require children provide a parent's email address before he or she can receive push notifications from ClassDojo. We will then provide the parent with notice and provide the parent the opportunity to prevent further notifications. The device identifier for a child's account will only be associated with other personal information once parental consent is provided. If you are a student or a parent of a child and no longer want these communications to be sent, please either turn off the push notifications on your device, or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Before ever sending a push notification to a child, we will provide notice to parents, or obtain parental consent. Parents can always opt-out later as well.
What Children's Information is Visible to Others?
No student's profile is made available or visible to the public, or to any other students, through ClassDojo. Teachers may share their classes, including feedback points, with other teachers or school leaders in their school, to help them collaborate. If the teacher chooses to display ClassDojo in their classroom, such as projecting via a smartboard or interactive whiteboard, students physically present in that classroom may see other students' names, avatars (which can be the default avatars, or avatars modified by students) and total feedback points - this is similar to how paper-based sticker charts displayed in a classroom might work. Students' full profiles showing each feedback point awarded are not shown in this class view, and are therefore kept private for each student, their teacher(s), and their parents. Teachers can of course choose not to display ClassDojo this way, for example by using the ClassDojo App on their mobile devices — and many do!
By default, the full set of feedback posted to a student's account is private to the student, their teacher(s) and their parents. If a teacher displays the ClassDojo website in class - which is completely optional - only a student's total points and avatar will be displayed.
How Long Does ClassDojo Keep Children's Information?
We only keep a child's personal information for as long as his or her student account is active, unless we are required by law to retain it, need it to ensure the security of our community or our Service, or to enforce our Terms. More specifically, ClassDojo operates a 3-tier student data protection policy to protect all students' (not just children's) information ("3-Tier Student Data Protection Policy"):
Minimal information: As mentioned before, ClassDojo collects the minimal amount of information from students necessary to create accounts on our Service: we ask students to provide just the unique student code given by their teacher, a username, and a password. We advise students to not use any personal information in their username. Consistent with the requirements of COPPA, we ask students for their age, and a parent or guardian's email address if they are under 13 years of age so we can seek verifiable parental consent or provide parental notice (as applicable). Beyond this information, the ClassDojo student account does not allow students the ability to upload any content to their account, or enter any additional personal information. In addition to the information entered by the child, we automatically collect some information from any use of our Service as set forth in the "Information collected automatically" section.
One year deletion policy for feedback points:
To protect students, ClassDojo sets limits on how long students' feedback points are retained. For all students, feedback points older than 12 months are automatically deleted, unless the student or their parent chooses to retain them by creating their own associated account. For example, if a teacher sets up a class on ClassDojo on January 1, 2016, then unless students or parents create accounts, on January 1, 2017 any feedback points given in that class on or before January 1, 2016 would be deleted (and will continue to be deleted on an ongoing basis as each point reaches 12 months in age). This means feedback points cannot exist long-term without either being deleted automatically, or students or parents knowing about them and being able to access and delete them on their own (by deleting both the parent and student accounts entirely). Teachers can also delete feedback points at any time.
Deleting inactive accounts:
If a student's account is inactive for twelve months or more (meaning no teacher has given feedback to the student or messaged with the student's parent, and neither the parent nor the student have logged into his or her account), ClassDojo will automatically delete the student account, including all personal information provided by students or collected by ClassDojo from students, as well as feedback points associated with the account that are more than 12 months old. Learn more about how we delete student accounts here.
We only keep a child's personal information for as long as the account is active, unless we are required by law to retain it, need it to ensure the security of our community or our Service, or to enforce our Terms. Additionally, we protect students with our industry-leading 3-Tier Student Data Protection Policy: (1) we collect only minimal information from students (a random username, a password, and a parent's email), (2) we automatically delete their feedback points after a year - unless students or parents choose to save them for longer, and (3) we delete students' accounts if they're inactive for more than twelve months.
Parental Choices
If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child who has created a ClassDojo account and you did not receive an email seeking your consent or providing notice (as per COPPA), you can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to have that child's account deleted.
Any parents that want copies of their children's personal information that we may have stored can contact us either by sending an email at email@example.com or as described in the "How Can I Contact ClassDojo With Questions" section below. At any time, parents can refuse to permit us to collect further personal information from their children, and can request that we delete the personal information we have collected from their child by contacting us as per the "How can I contact ClassDojo with questions?" section below. Please keep in mind that deleting records may require us to terminate the account in question. Also remember that before we can share the information with you, or delete it per your request, we will need to verify your identity, for example by requiring that you provide acceptable forms of personal identification.
We believe parents should always be able to delete their child's account, request for us to delete their child's personal information, or obtain a copy of their child's personal information. Just email us and we'll be happy to help.
What information does ClassDojo collect?
We collect two types of information about you: (1) information that you voluntarily provide us by using the ClassDojo Service (described below under "Information you provide to us") and (2) information collected automatically as result of your use of the Service (described below under "Information collected automatically"). The types and amounts of information collected will vary depending on whether the user is a teacher, school leader, parent or student (e.g. we collect minimal information from students) and how they use ClassDojo (e.g. if teachers join their school, we may need to collect school address information).
ClassDojo asks for some limited information directly from teachers, parents, and students (such as account information), and also collects some information automatically (such as crash reports when errors occur) in order to provide you with the best possible ClassDojo experience.
Information you provide to us
There are currently three categories of users on our Service: teachers, parents, and students. We describe the information collected from students under 13 in the section above; for other users, we collect and store the following types of information from each type of user:
Account Sign-up and Profile Information: To create a ClassDojo account as a teacher, school leader, or parent, you may be asked to provide some basic information such as your first and last name, email address, telephone number, password and a profile photo. If you create a ClassDojo account as a student, you will be asked to enter the unique code you have been given by your teacher (students are unable to sign up for the Service without this), along with a unique username and password. Per COPPA, we may also ask for your age and, if you are under 13, a parent or guardian's email address so we can give parents notice or seek parental consent, as appropriate. We don't ask students to enter any other personal information, and students currently cannot enter any additional personal information through the use of our Service. Teacher and school leader profiles may be viewed by other teachers and school leaders in the same school; however, no teacher, parent or student profile is made available or visible to the general public through the functionality of our Service.
School Information: If you are a teacher or school leader, as part of the profile information you provide, you may choose to associate your account with an existing school or may enter a new school name and possibly your school's address if we do not have it already. If you are using the Service as a teacher or school leader, we may ask you for permission to collect and store your precise geolocation information to help us identify schools located nearby for you. By connecting you with your school, the Service may enable and provide additional collaboration features for teachers and school leaders within the same school such as adding photos, videos, and text updates on School Story for parents and other verified teachers in that school to see. Learn more about our current collaboration features and what information will be shared here.
Class Information: As a teacher you'll need to enter the class year (e.g., first grade) and the names of the students in your class (these may or may not be the student's actual first and last names - it is entirely the teacher's choice what they enter here: for example, teachers could enter 'John S', 'John', 'JS', or 'Student 23' to describe the same person). If a teacher opts to share the classes they set up on ClassDojo with other teachers in their school, such as teachers they co-teach with, then those teachers can also see that class's information.
Inviting Others: As a teacher or school leader, you can invite your students' parents to join the Service, for example by providing their email address or phone number (to invite them via SMS). As a parent, school leader, or teacher you can also invite others to join the Service by utilizing your own native mobile application functionality through the ClassDojo App, for example by email, SMS, or sharing via Facebook or Twitter. We will collect and store the email and phone numbers you provide with these requests, and will also treat this as personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also ask you for access to the contacts on your mobile device to prevent you having to enter contact information for those invitations you send through our application and may store these contacts from your address book. If these individuals would like to request deletion of their information, they may contact us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Feedback Points: As a teacher or school leader, you can customize a list of feedback types that you want to encourage or recognize using feedback points, such as persistence, teamwork, or leadership. These feedback points cannot be viewed by the general public through our Service. A student's feedback points can only be viewed on ClassDojo by that student, the teacher who awarded them, that student's parents, and other teachers the class is shared with. If the teacher chooses to display totals to the class, other students in the class may be able to see each other's aggregated totals (but not individual feedback points).
Messaging: As a teacher or school leader, you can privately message with individual parents that have signed up for the Service, or send broadcast messages to all parents at once, using the ClassDojo Messaging, Class Story, and School Story features. Teachers and parents can send each other messages, which can also include things such as photos, videos,voice notes and virtual stickers. As a teacher, school leader, or parent, your name and profile photo may be displayed to the person with whom you are messaging, and if you are a teacher or school leader, you may receive a 'read receipt' showing how many parents have read your message. We will store messages, and any content sent with the messages (e.g., photos), to provide the Service, and to help teachers and school leaders keep a log of their communications with parents. In the case that a photo or video is shared in a broadcast message, Class Story, or School Story showing a student who does not want photos taken of him/her (or whose parent does not want photos taken of him/her), the student or parent can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com to remove it.
Contact Information: When you choose to provide us with your personal information through the Service in some other manner (e.g., when you send us an email asking a question, submit a support request, participate in a video testimonial about our Service, or choose to participate in any research efforts with ClassDojo to improve the Service).
Our use of the information above is described below in the "How Does ClassDojo Use the Information it Collects" section. If you are using the ClassDojo App, we may ask you for certain permissions - please click here for more detail about those permissions.
We ask you for different types of information based on who you are (i.e., teacher, school leader, parent, and student) and which ClassDojo features you use (e.g., sending a message between a teacher and a parent, or helping a teacher join their school).
Information collected automatically
Like most web-based services, we (or our service providers) may automatically receive and log information on our server logs from your browser or your device when you use the Service. For example, this could include the frequency and duration of your visits to ClassDojo (similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show). If you use ClassDojo on different devices, we may link the information we collect from those different devices to help us provide a consistent Service across your different devices. If we do combine any automatically-collected information with personal information, we will treat the combined information as personal information, and it will be protected as per this Privacy Policy.
The technologies and information we automatically collect include:
Cookies and other similar technologies: We (or our service providers) may use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit our Service including, clear GIFs (also known as "web beacons"), "tags", "scripts", and "cookies". We use both session and persistent cookies: a session cookie disappears after you close your browser; a persistent cookie remains after you close your browser (although it can be removed) and may be used by your browser to identify you on subsequent visits to the Service. We may also use, collect and store information locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML 5). Like many services, ClassDojo uses these technologies to tailor the Service for you, and to help the Service work better for you - for example, by remembering your language preferences.
Please read our Cookie Policy for more details, including how to remove or modify your cookie settings.
Device information: We collect device-specific information such as your operating system, hardware version, device settings, file and software names and types, battery and signal strength, and device identifiers. This helps us measure how the Service is performing, improve ClassDojo for you on your particular device, and send you push notifications if you've opted in to receive them.
Log information: Like most online services, when you use our Service, we automatically collect and store certain information in our server logs. Examples include things like:
Details of how you used our service, such as your activity on the Service, and the frequency and duration of your visits to the ClassDojo Website or ClassDojo App (similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show)
Telephony log information like your phone number and SMS routing information
IP Address
Device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL
Location information: When you use our Service we may collect and process information about your geographic location, for example through GPS, Bluetooth, or WiFi signals. We collect both coarse (i.e., city-level) location data and precise location data. If we collect precise geolocation information ("precise" meaning sufficient to identify street name and name of city or town) from you (such as when a teacher is searching for a school), we ask for your explicit opt-in permission. We do not collect precise geolocation data from students. We will not store or track your device location on an on-going basis or without your permission. We do not share precise geo-location data with third parties, other than our service providers as necessary to provide the Service. If you no longer wish to allow us to track your location information, you may opt-out at any time by turning it off at the device level.
This information helps us make decisions about what we should work on next - for example, by showing which features are most (or least!) popular.
We collect some information from you automatically using cookies so that we know when things go wrong, or to help us understand what parts of ClassDojo need some improvement. If we need to collect street-level ("precise") geolocation data from you as a teacher, school leader, or parent, we'll ask for your explicit, opt-in consent. We do not collect precise geolocation data from students.
How does ClassDojo use the information it collects?
First and foremost, you should know that ClassDojo does not sell or rent any of your, or your child's, personal information to any third party for any purpose - including for advertising or marketing purposes. Third-party advertising is not permitted on ClassDojo. We use the information we collect from you to provide you with the best ClassDojo experience. More specifically, this information is used to:
Provide and improve the Service, for example by developing new products and features
Respond to your requests for information or customer support
Customize the Service for you, and improve your experience with it
Send you information about new features and ClassDojo products we believe you may be interested in
Most crucially, to protect our community by making sure the Service remains safe and secure
We use automatically collected information (described in the "Information collected automatically" section above) to provide and support our Service, and for the additional uses described in this section of our Privacy Policy.
ClassDojo doesn't sell or rent your information to third-parties, and we don't permit advertising on ClassDojo. We only ask you to share information with us when it can help provide you with a better ClassDojo experience.
Will ClassDojo share any information it collects?
How does ClassDojo protect and secure my information?
Your ClassDojo account is protected by a password. You can help us protect against unauthorized access to your account by keeping your password secret at all times.
The security of your personal information is important to us. We work hard to protect our community, and we maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure of or access to personal information. In particular:
Our engineering team is dedicated to keeping your personal information secure
We work with a team of security researchers to continually test ClassDojo's security practices for vulnerabilities
We periodically review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems
We continually develop and implement features to keep your personal information safe - for example, when you enter any information anywhere on the Service, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) by default
We ensure passwords are stored and transferred securely using encryption and salted hashing
We automatically delete inactive student accounts after a specific period of time, as per our retention policy, described in the "How Long Does ClassDojo Keep Children's Information?" section
We also operate a 'bug bounty' security program to encourage an active community of third party security researchers to report any security bugs to us. More information on this is available by contacting us at email@example.com
For additional information on our security practices, please visit our Privacy Center.
Although we make concerted good faith efforts to maintain the security of personal information, and we work hard to ensure the integrity and security of our systems, no practices are 100% immune, and we can't guarantee the security of information. Outages, attacks, human error, system failure, unauthorized use or other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time. If we learn of a security breach, we will attempt to notify you electronically (subject to any applicable laws) so that you can take appropriate protective steps; for example, we may post a notice on our homepage (www.classdojo.com) or elsewhere on the Service, and may send email to you at the email address you have provided to us. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.
The security of your information is important to us, and we take it very seriously. We're always adding safeguards to ensure the safety and security of ClassDojo and our community of teachers, school leaders, parents, and students. You can help us out by keeping your password secret!
ClassDojo's commitments to providing Transparency and Choice
As you can see, we try to be transparent about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used. For example, you can:
At ClassDojo, we believe that more transparency is better. We try to give you control, with easy settings and options, so that you can make good choices when it comes to your information and how it is used.
Can I opt-out of providing information?
You can always decline to share personal information with us, or even block all cookies. However, it's important to remember that many of ClassDojo's features may not be accessible, or may not function properly - for example, we may not be able to remember your language preferences for you.
You can always opt-out of providing us information, though we might not be able to provide you with all of ClassDojo's features.
How can I access and manage my personal information?
ClassDojo aims to provide you with easy access to any personal information we have collected about you. If that information is incorrect, we give you easy ways to update it, or to delete it, unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business (e.g., we need at least an email address for your account) or legal purposes.
Accessing Your Information: To request access to all your personal information we have on file, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. In some cases, we won't be able to guarantee complete access due to legal restrictions - for example, you will not be allowed to access files that contain information about other users or information that is confidential to us. We may not be able to fulfill requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort or would be extremely impractical.
Updating Your Information: You may update, correct, or delete some of your profile information or your preferences at any time by logging into your account on ClassDojo and accessing your account settings page. You may have to verify your identity before you can do that. You may also, at any time, update, correct, or delete certain personal information that you have provided to us by contacting us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. Please note that while your changes may be reflected promptly in active content, users that have previously accessed the content may still have access to old copies cached on their device or may have copied and stored your content. In addition, we may retain a backup copy of the prior version for a limited period of time or for legal purposes.
Accessing Your Child's Information: Take a look at our "Parental Choices" section to see how you can obtain copies of your child's personal information.
You can always access and manage your personal information through your ClassDojo account, or by contacting us.
How can I delete my account?
We hope you love using ClassDojo now and always. However, if for some reason you ever want to delete your account (or your child's account, if you are his or her parent), you can do that at any time by contacting us at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are a parent, teacher, or school leader using the ClassDojo Website, you may also delete your account by logging into your account and accessing your account settings page.
When you delete your account, we delete your profile information and any other content you provide in your profile (such as your name, username, password, email address, and profile photos) and depending on the category of user you are (i.e., teacher, school leader, parent or student), feedback points and information collected through the mobile permissions you've granted. Information that you have shared with others, others have shared about you, or content other users may have copied and stored, is not part of your account and may not be deleted when you delete your account. For more details, please read "What happens when I delete my account?" in our FAQs.
You can always delete your account by visiting your account settings, or simply by contacting us. For more details on what happens when you delete your account, click here.
How long does ClassDojo keep information about me?
We store your personal information for as long as it is necessary to provide products and Services to you and others, including those described above. Personal information associated with your account will be kept until your account is deleted, unless we no longer need the data to provide products and services.
Please note that we may have to retain some information after your account is closed, to comply with legal obligations, to protect the safety and security of our community or our Service, or to prevent abuse of our Terms. You can, of course, delete your account at any time, as per the "How can I delete my account?" section.
3-Tier Student Data Protection Policy: In addition to the policy above that applies to all users, we only keep a student's personal information while the student's account is active, unless we are required by law to retain it, need it to ensure the security of our community or our Service, or to enforce our Terms. More specifically, we have a 3-Tier Student Data Protection Policy to protect students' information: we collect minimal information from students, delete feedback points automatically after 1 year if parents or students haven't created associated accounts, and delete student accounts if they are inactive for twelve months. Read more details about this incredibly student-friendly policy in the "How Long Does ClassDojo Keep Children's Information?" section.
We keep teacher, school leader, and parent personal information until it is deleted, or until we no longer need it to provide you with the ClassDojo service. We only keep student personal information for as long as the student's account is active, unless we are required by law to retain it, or need it to protect the safety of our users. Additionally, for students, we have our 3-Tier Student Data Protection Policy that states how we delete students' information after some time - our business is not about creating permanent records.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Pink's help buttonPink has had a ?Help? button tattooed on her arm.
The singer, who has around 20 different pieces of body art, says she presses the unusual symbol for comfort when she has to face a problem in her life.
She told Britain's TV Hits magazine: "I got a 'Help' button tattooed on my arm so I can press it when things aren't going so well. It hasn't worked yet though, I gotta get it activated!"
Pink recently confessed she is turned on by tattoos.
The rocker finds body art very erotic, and loves the fact her husband Carey Hart has covered his body with ink.
She revealed: "I think they are very incredibly sexy. My husband is covered with them.
"I don't regret any of mine because they all represent a chapter in my life and that's what tattoos are for."

Presidential feast at North Coast
Chef Ryan Aberle is among the most creative chefs tucked out in the suburbs and this Saturday at Northcoast (click this link at the risk of being innundated by smooth jazz) in Wayzata, he'll be showing off his chops, er medallions actually--
gingerbread-crusted monkfish medallions, to be precise, served with pineapple and kiwi carpaccio and a nutmeg beurre blanc. And that's just the first course. The six-course meal features wines selected to represent American wineries at various White House State dinners, so if you're looking to celebrate an Obama victory this weekend, Northcoast looks like a good bet. If you can swing the $75, treat for your favorite campaign worker, canvasser, or poll watcher.

In wake of Boston Globe and Washington Post sales, might Star Tribune be next?
This week has been a notable one in the newspaper industry. On Saturday, the New York Times Company announced the sale of the Boston Globe to Red Sox owner John Henry for $70 million. Monday brought even bigger news -- the Washington Post, arguably the nation's second most-important newspaper, is being purchased by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos for a (relatively) whopping $250 million.
SEE ALSO: Female Strib reporter goes to woman-starved northwestern NoDak, hilarity ensues
Those developments got Twin Cities Business magazine thinking -- might the Star Tribune be next? After all, the Twin Cities' leading paper is currently by Wayzata Investment Partners, a private equity firm known for unsentimentally flipping companies for a profit.
But if any sort of Strib sale is in the works -- and keep in mind, the WaPo's sale came as a complete shocker to employees and industry analysts -- officials are keeping mum.
From the Twin Cities Business report:
Star Tribune spokesman Steve Yaeger declined to comment on speculation about a sale of the local newspaper but said: "I think Jeff Bezos' purchase of the Washington Post is certainly a vote of confidence in our industry and the prospects of strong local media brands."
Calls to Wayzata Investment Partners and Mike Sweeney, chairman of the board of Star Tribune Media Holdings, were not immediately returned.
Sale or no, the immediate future looks bright for the Strib. The paper's headquarters sits on five blocks of property the city intends to buy and convert into downtown Minneapolis's biggest park. Twin Cities Business estimates the city might end up paying up to $40 million for that property -- in other words, more than half of what the Boston Globe sold for in total.
Sure, the newspaper industry's halcyon days came to an end faster than you can say "internet." But still, there's money to be made, especially if you happen to run a newspaper that owns a large parcel of mouthwatering property right next to the house that Zygi (got lots of public help and then) built.

text: 000 FXUS63 KFSD 211948 AFDFSD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 248 PM CDT SAT MAY 21 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday afternoon) Issued at 245 PM CDT Sat May 21 2016 A few lingering showers are rapidly dissipating this afternoon, and despite the rather breezy conditions, Saturday is turning out to be very pleasant. These pleasant conditions will continue into the overnight hours, with the main focus of the forecast on the severe weather risks late Sunday and Monday. Tonight: Upper troughing over the Rockies will continue to keep moisture transport pushing northwest into western Nebraska and the western Dakotas overnight. We`ll again see a return of low level stratus into central SD/NE tonight, and as the LLJ begins to veer after midnight, this stratus will begin to advect into the Missouri River valley. Further east, winds will gradually settle, but remain elevated enough to keep temperatures in the lower 50s. Sunday: The slow and gradual advection of quality sfc moisture will continue through the day, with moisture trying to pool ahead of an eastward advancing frontal boundary nosing into the western Dakotas/Nebraska by afternoon. Soundings continue to both a continuation of stratus west of the James river into the afternoon, but also the arrival of an capping inversion around 750mb. As mid- lvl energy begins to edge into the Plains should see an erosion of this stratus ahead of the boundary, allowing an area of MLCAPE approaching 2000-2500 J/KG by late afternoon. While effective shear is marginal (25-35 KTS), CAMS suggest relatively discrete cells forming ahead of the frontal boundary along a line near Pierre to Valentine late in the afternoon. Sunday night: Given the marginal shear profiles, the discrete nature of the activity should be limited with storm interactions and cold pool development allowing for several clusters of storms to form as they try to push east towards the Missouri River valley. Further east towards Mitchell and Yankton, soundings continue hold onto capping inversion until the LLJ develops later in the evening. The main risks continue to be focused on damaging winds with some potential for hail in the initial stages of convection. DCAPE values to push 1000 J/KG during the evening, and with mid-lvl dry air, would feel potential for marginally severe winds. Hail potential should be limited by the lack of effective shear. The fairly unidirectional flow aloft should promote a slow eastward progression to storms through the night. CIPS analogs continue to support the idea of isolated to scattered severe weather reports Sunday evening and early Sunday night, but that severe weather risk will greatly diminish eastward with time. Monday: With no strong push eastward of the storms, and rather weak frontal boundary , rain may linger well through the day on Monday over the eastern half of the CWA. Temperatures behind this cloud shield may climb back into the 80s. Very uncertain chance for redevelopment of convection Monday afternoon remains with the main concerns focused on forcing. .LONG TERM...(Monday evening through Saturday) Issued at 245 PM CDT Sat May 21 2016 Looks like unsettled weather pattern will continue throughout the week with upper level flow becoming more southwesterly increasing the shear a little, especially on Tuesday. Will have to keep on Tuesday as we may have a little sleeper severe weather event, but confidence remains low at this point. Very muddied pattern so was very difficult to pin down exact timing of precip events. Looking ahead at Holiday weekend looks to be even more unsettled as models bring a pretty strong short wave over the area keeping a pretty good chance for storms beginning on Thursday and continuing through Saturday. Highs look to be in the 70s throughout the extended period, but will be heavily influenced by the cloud cover throughout the period. However, having said that I think the surface flow should allow temps to warm to seasonal normals. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sat May 21 2016 Lingering showers will dissipate near Sioux City early this afternoon, with VFR conditions likely at all terminals. Breezy southeast winds will persist into the evening hours. VFR conditions will continue into the overnight. As the LLJ increases, we`ll have an increased risk of LLWS at all terminals through daybreak. && .FSD Watches/Warnings/Advisories... SD...None. MN...None. IA...None. NE...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...Dux LONG TERM...Heitkamp AVIATION...Dux

A new national survey finds weakening support for and growing opposition to abortion.
The Pew Research Center poll of more than 4,000 adults suggests that less than half of Americans now support legal abortion, with opponents of abortion growing in both strength and conviction.
The poll found support for legal abortion down sharply among Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Americans of all political persuasions since Barack Obama was elected president.
Pew researcher Greg Smith says supporters and opponents of legal abortion also have become more polarized, with about 40 percent of each now saying they don't respect the opposite point of view.

Reid told reporters the bill would be introduced on Tuesday, and that it would include an extension of the tax breaks, known as tax extenders, that expired last year.
"As of last night, there will be Republican support for this bill," Reid told reporters.
He added that he doesn't foresee changes to the bill that would cause it to lose Republican support.
Reid did not say how expensive the jobs bill would be. The Senate had been considering a package of roughly $80 billion.
The House passed a larger jobs bill before Christmas, but now plans to unveil a different bill independent of that package, which did not garner Republican support.

Eulalia became a client of our institution thanks to a recommendation from one of the clients that works with communal banks under advisor, Nicolas.
Eulalia lives in Plan 3000 zone's 30 de Agosto neighborhood with her husband and two children. She has a small grocery store where she sells basic needs items.
She is asking for funding to stock her store. Her husband, Efrain, is an urban taxi driver. Thanks to their combined efforts, they have owned their own house and vehicle for a year now.
The couple had a recent setback that almost caused them to lose all their belongings. What happend was: the wife lent herself some money to pay for her husband's trip abroad where work conditions would provide higher income. However, once abroad he was discovered to be undocumented and he was deported to Bolivia; he had just recently left. After this, he left the country again and stayed out working for over a year. He was able to earn enough money to build the house and buy a vehicle, which he currently uses to work and help with household expenses. They comment that the experience they went through taught them to value family unity which is the fundamental pillar needed to overcome any adversity.
They are very grateful to Emprender and Kiva for the trust placed in them by granting the loan.

Minor League Baseball™ announced today that its regular season attendance surpassed 41 million fans again this season, as it has done so for nearly a decade. The 41,553,781 fans that MiLB™ attracted in 2013 is nearly 275,000 more than last year's total. The industry also saw almost a 2% rise in average attendance, despite facing a multitude of weather issues early in the season.
"To experience increases in total and average attendance is a testament to the quality of our product and the ability of our clubs to adapt to conditions, be it weather, economic or otherwise," Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O'Conner said. "Attracting more than 41 million fans a year for nine years has helped solidify the Minor League Baseball brand to our partners and fans."
The Bisons themselves saw an increase of over 900 fans per game vs. 2012 -the largest season-to-season increase in the 26-year history of Coca-Cola Field. With an average of 8,273, Buffalo finished with the 4th highest in average in the International league despite leading the league in games lost because of weather. One of the postponements was the team's annual School Kids Day morning start that annually ranks as one of the club's top drawing events.
When the weather warmed, so did the crowds. The Bisons averaged 9,452 per game from the start of June to the end of the regular season. That average reached 10,198 during their 17 games in August.

Using a government filing cabinet as a prop, President Bush yesterday played to fears that the Social Security Trust Fund is little more...
WASHINGTON — Using a government filing cabinet as a prop, President Bush yesterday played to fears that the Social Security Trust Fund is little more than a stack of worthless IOUs.
If the IOUs are worthless, however, so is the "full faith and credit" of the federal government, independent financial analysts said. The reality is a little more complicated than Bush acknowledged, and it goes to the heart of the debate over Social Security's future.
Experts say both sides in the debate over Social Security mischaracterize the trust fund's worth to make the case that the retirement system essentially is sound, as many Democrats contend, or that it's on the verge of a crisis, which is Bush's message.
"I don't like the Democrats saying everything is fine any more than I like the Republicans saying, 'House on fire! House on fire!' The truth is somewhere in the middle," said Timothy Smeeding, a professor at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

Bush visited the Bureau of Public Debt in Parkersburg, W.Va., yesterday to highlight the fact that there's no actual cash in the trust fund, even though Social Security has piled up a $1.7 trillion surplus since it was created in the late 1930s. Payroll taxes collected from workers have exceeded benefits paid to retirees every year since 1984.
Instead of socking away the surplus, the government has spent it on other programs and promised to repay it later, with interest. The IOUs are in the form of special-issue Treasury bonds that are stored in a filing cabinet.
"There is no trust fund, just IOUs that I saw firsthand, that future generations will pay," Bush said after inspecting the storage site. "Imagine — the retirement security for future generations is sitting in a filing cabinet."
Democrats quickly labeled Bush's trip to Parkersburg as nothing more than a gimmicky photo-op meant to mislead Americans into thinking that drastic reform is needed to fix the system's solvency problems.
"Americans who paid into Social Security are legally entitled to have that money fund Social Security until 2052 — as estimated by the Congressional Budget Office — just as all other investors in U.S. bonds are entitled to their return on their investments," New York Rep. Charles Rangel, ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Ways and Means, said in a statement.
The Social Security Administration for years has tried to downplay fears that the IOUs are an empty promise. The agency's Web site includes a section that addresses the question: "Is there really a Social Security Trust Fund?" The SSA's answer: "Yes."
Another SSA Web section addresses concerns that the bonds are of little value.
"Far from being 'worthless IOUs,' the investments held by the trust funds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The government has always repaid Social Security, with interest," the agency says. "The special-issue securities are, therefore, just as safe as U.S. savings bonds or other financial instruments of the federal government."
Current projections indicate that the value of the government's promise will be put to the test in 2017, when Social Security payroll taxes will fall short of promised benefits. At that point, the Social Security Administration will have to start cashing in its IOUs.
The government could meet its commitment by raising income taxes or Social Security payroll taxes, by trimming future benefits or by combining the two approaches, and it could issue more bonds — new debt — to raise the money.
Abandoning the commitment to pay off the trust-fund bonds isn't considered a realistic option, even by those who like to say the trust fund is worthless.
"The Social Security Trust Fund is a promise to raise taxes later," said Brian Riedl, a budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research center. "It's worthless in the sense that you cannot pay benefits with the IOUs in the trust fund."
Bush's plan for private investment accounts is a side issue.
He acknowledges that his proposal to let younger workers invest some of their Social Security taxes in stocks and bonds would do nothing to make Social Security solvent. He hopes workers could use profits from the accounts to offset cuts in their future retirement benefits under traditional Social Security.
Both sides agree the key to fixing the program is finding a way to make sure the government can meet its future obligations.
"There is a trust fund backed by the full obligation of the U.S. government, but that doesn't change the fact that we do have a problem," said William Novelli, chief executive of AARP, a seniors' organization that opposes Bush's plan for private accounts. "We ought to address it now."
Rangel's response was reported by The Associated Press.

Online deals service Groupon (GRPN) has shuffled its executives in a bid to jump-start overseas growth, but observers are skeptical in the face of rising competition.
The changes among top-level international executives are a direct result of slowing international sales growth, says Edward Woo, an analyst with Ascendiant Capital Markets. Groupon's international sales growth rate slipped for the first time in Q2, says Woo, and then fell even worse in Q3.
"Groupon was growing spectacularly for a couple of years and all of a sudden, without the growth, people are questioning the value of the company," Woo told IBD.
In Q3, its international sales rose just 3.1%, while North American sales jumped 80.5%. In Q2, Groupon reported international growth of 30.9% and 65.5% for North America.
It's been an unwelcome turn of events. In Q1, international sales more than doubled, outpacing North America.
The company has taken actions besides shuffling executives.
On a conference call with analysts Nov. 8 to discuss Q3 results, Groupon CEO Andrew Mason said the company has started to roll out its "deal personalization" software in the U.K. and "we're starting to see a lift."
The software, released early this year in the U.S., helps Groupon target users with specific deals sent to their email inboxes.
But this move might not spark big growth, since Groupon's overseas growth has been accomplished "entirely" through acquisitions, Deutsche Bank Securities analyst Ross Sandler wrote in a research note.
Groupon declined to comment for this article.
In September, the company shifted most, if not all, of the oversight for its international business to its Chicago headquarters.
On Sept. 28, the company said Veit Dengler, hired in April to lead international operations, was leaving. Dengler had been based in Europe — in Austria, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Groupon replaced him with Chris Muhr, named senior vice president in charge of Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
But Muhr, unlike Dengler, will report to Kal Raman, who in August was appointed senior vice president of global sales and operations based in Chicago headquarters. On Wednesday, Raman was promoted to chief operating officer.
"Groupon is making changes in its management structure that aim to flatten its global organization," a company representative said via email at the time.
The company's head of national sales and a top salesperson left in Q2, Woo says. Also, he says the company's international sales force declined 13.5% in Q3 from Q2.
Analyst Sandler says Groupon's biggest problem overseas is the simple fact that it has an easily copied business model offering discount daily deals: Merchants participate expecting that when they get customers in the door once, many will return. Groupon takes a small cut from each deal.
Sandler says it will be difficult for Groupon to keep growing because of its "ability to be replicated." He rates the stock a hold.
The problems of keeping staff happy and jump-starting sales in Europe and elsewhere could boost operating costs, Woo wrote in a recent research note. "We are unsure how quickly the business can return to high growth," he said.
Groupon, though, will focus more heavily on ventures outside the daily deals arena, according to Peter Merholz, the company's new vice president of global design.
"Groupon has been a punching bag for the tech and finance press the past year, but I think the company has only remarkable opportunity ahead of it," wrote Merholz in a personal blog post in October, on his first day at the company.
But he also wrote this: "And, hoo-boy, what a design challenge."
