List of Oxford University Isis crews
This is a list of the Oxford University Isis crews who have competed in The Reserve Boat Race, which started in 1965.
Rowers are listed left to right in boat position from bow to stroke.
The number following the rower indicates the rower's weight in stones and pounds.
RowPerfect
A Rowperfect is an indoor rowing machine designed in 1987; patented in 1988, by Cas Rekers.
It is designed to accurately simulate the feeling of rowing on the water.
Both the flywheel and the seat are free to move on a slide — this is different from the majority of rowing machines where the flywheel is fixed and only the seat moves.
Its mass and movement are balanced and engineered to enable rowing technique to be learned and refined.
This is called a "floating head" rowing simulator: the fixed flywheel type is called a "fixed head" ergometer.
The result is that the flywheel moves towards the rower on the recovery mimicking the on-water experience of the boat moving under the rower more accurately.
The Rowperfect is also unusual in offering a limited tilt seat which compels the rower to control their weight distribution during the power stroke and recovery.
It is considered to be a useful aide to teaching rowing.

Habib Nafisi
Habib Nafisi is the founder of Tehran Polytechnic( Amirkabir University of Technology).
He founded it in 1958 with five engineering departments.
He also founded the University of Mazandaran and Iran University of Science and Technology.
Afrasiyab dynasty
The Afrasiyab or Chalavi dynasty was a small Iranian Shia dynasty of Mazandaran and flourished in the late medieval, pre-Safavid period; it is also called the Kia dynasty.
It was founded by Kiya Afrasiyab, who conquered the Bavand kingdom in 1349 and made himself king of the region.
In 1504, Ismail I invaded Mazandaran and ended Afrasiyab rule of the region.
Oar
An oar is an implement used for water- borne propulsion.
Oars have a flat blade at one end.
Rowers grasp the oar at the other end.
The difference between oars and paddles is that oars are used exclusively for rowing.
In rowing the oar is connected to the vessel by means of a pivot point for the oar, either an oarlock, or a thole.
The oar is placed in the pivot point with a short portion inside the vessel, and a much larger portion outside.
The rower pulls on the short end of oar, while the long end is in the water.
The oar is a second class lever with the water as the fulcrum, the oarlock as the load, and the rower as the force.
An oar is an unusual lever since the mechanical advantage is less than one.
The oar increases the small displacement of the end held by the rower, into a large displacement of the vessel through the water.
The rower applies a large force through a small distance, which must be equaled by the small force the water applies operating over a longer distance, i.e. the work done by the rower must be balanced by the work done by the water.
By contrast, paddles, are held in both hands by the paddler, and are not attached to the vessel.
Rowers generally face the stern of the vessel, reach towards the stern, and insert the blade of their oar in the water.
As they lean back, towards the vessel's bow, the blade of their oars pivots in the oarlock, and the end in the water moves towards the stern, providing forward thrust.
For thousands of years vessels were powered either by sails, or by the mechanical work of rowers, or by paddlers.
Some ancient vessels were propelled by both oars and sail, depending on the speed and direction of the wind.
Khanian, Mazandaran
Khanian( also Romanized as Khānīān and Khānīyān) is a village in Seh Hezar Rural District, Khorramabad District, Tonekabon County, Mazandaran Province, Iran.
At the 2006 census, its population was 32, in 9 families.
Anatomy of a rowing stroke
The two fundamental reference points in the anatomy of a rowing stroke are the" catch" where the oar blade is placed in the water, and the" extraction"( also known as the' finish',' release' or' tapping down') where the oar blade is removed from the water.
After the blade is placed in the water at the" catch", the rower applies pressure to the oar levering the boat forward which is called the" drive" phase of the stroke.
Once the rower extracts the oar from the water, the" recovery" phase begins, setting up the rower's body for the next stroke.
The Rower
Rower or The Rower( from) is a small village in County Kilkenny, Ireland.
The Rower is on the R705 regional road, roughly 30 km from both Waterford and Kilkenny.
It is within the parish of the same name, which is about five miles( 8 km) in length from north to south, by about three miles in breadth.
It lies on the slopes of Brandon Hill and Cullintra Hill.
It has a primary school, two churches, a GAA field and community hall.
The ruined castle of Coolhill, said to have belonged to the Butler family, is nearby; and there are several broken dolmens in the vicinity of Ballinabarna.
They have a hurling team which competes in the Senior grade in Kilkenny.
