Hi: 10° Lo:3°
By Harriet Ernstsons Friday 04 January 2013 Updated: 04/01 08:57
A FORMER Standard receptionist has swapped Redditch for rollers after landing a role assisting a high-flying celebrity hairdresser.
Reporter Harriet Ernstsons met Raphelle Saint-Marshall to find out more about her glamorous new life.
BUDDING hairdresser Raphelle was first spotted by Matthew Curtis during her stint manning the Redditch Standard reception when he visited the offices for an interview for Christmas 2010.
Almost two years later, the 21-year-old from Studley was training at Bliss Hair Salon in Alvechurch, as well as uploading 'how tos' and examples of her work to the internet in a bid to get her name known in hairdressing circles.
At the time, she was pulling together photoshoots in the garage of her family home, using her photography student brother to take the pictures and roping in friends to act as models.
But Matthew spotted her potential and invited her to become his assistant, travelling with him across the world as well as training in his salon in Stratford.
"I was constantly promoting what I was doing and then Matt saw it and asked me to go along to a shoot in London for the day. I think I impressed him and then he offered me a job," she said.
"In the first two months I have been to four countries, it's been crazy. The best thing has been learning from Matt as he's really talented and it's inspiring to see a guy that's so good at hair. It's also been nice meeting all the people I've met as everyone has been really eager and interesting."
The first major assignment for Raphelle was helping organise the stylists, models and make-up artists for editorial shoots in America, where the pair and a London-based photographer travelled to San Fransisco, LA, Las Vegas and back to San Fran in just a week.
"We had two shoots a day which was really full on. Three weeks before we went out there I was working non-stop on the laptop helping book everyone involved so when we actually got there it was good to stand back and look and think 'I helped put this together'."
Other highlights include helping with Matthew's input on new Youtube channel Daily Mix, going to the BAFTAs and assisting with the styling on the live episode of The Only Way Is Essex.
And 2013 is set to get even more exciting for the former receptionist. Already lined up are trips to the States for New York Fashion Week and Miami Swimwear Week.
Raphelle will also be helping out as Matthew takes on the challenge of styling the hair for Britain's Next Top Model, filming from the end of February until April on the popular television show which will air in July.
"I am so excited and lucky to be a part of the team for BNTM and can't wait to bring loads of my own ideas to the table, it's going to be amazing.
"My plans for the future are to be fully trained at Matt's salon because they are amazing at what they do so it will be great to work alongside them.
"I'm excited to help out more at shows and eventually I hope to be recognised in the industry for the work I've done."

A $21 million civil rights lawsuit is being filed today against the city of White Plains, New York, and its police department over the death of 68-year-old African-American veteran, Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. He was shot dead by police officers inside his own home after he accidentally set off his medical alert pendant. Police have since acknowledged using racial slurs against Chamberlain — an act they have described as a "tactic" to distract him as they sought entry into his home. Today's lawsuit comes less than two months after a Westchester County...Read »

Revenue recognition is a critical issue for companies. Proper revenue accounting can be complex, particularly when vendors provide a mix of products and services, making it difficult to determine the appropriate timing and amount of revenue to be recognized. Financial reporting standards require disentangling multiple revenue streams to ensure that revenue is not recognized before it is earned. Compliance with recognition standards can affect access to capital, firm valuation, and employee bonuses. Errors can have severe consequences, including earning restatements. The case discusses key issues in revenue recognition, with particular focus on transactions with multiple deliverables. It uses Fluidigm Corporation to illustrate revenue recognition principles. This company sells a range of products, including analytical instruments, disposables, software, and services. The case also illustrates the evolving nature of revenue recognition standards, and the consequences of guidance changes on financial reporting and company procedures.
learning objective:
This case is intended to provide an understanding of the basic principles of revenue recognition, with particular emphasis on treatment of transactions with multiple deliverables. It also highlights the evolving nature of accounting guidance, the consequences that changes can have on company accounting, and the necessity for practitioners to maintain an awareness of changes in guidance.
show details
The case discusses the current US and international accounting guidance regarding the disclosure of contingent and environmental liabilities, including FAS 5 and IAS 37. It then addresses the role of socially responsible investors and other factors that gave rise to the FASB revisiting its guidance. The case details the proposed new guidance and includes perspectives from various constituent groups (financial statement preparers and users) on its pros and cons. The case concludes with an example of existing guidance in practice using Novartis AG. It includes Novartis' financial and other quantitative disclosures regarding environmental liabilities, and its liability from a dumpsite in Bonfol, Switzerland, in particular.
learning objective:
Make students aware of the definition of a contingent liability and the rules for disclosure according to both existing and proposed guidance. Illustrate to students the challenges in valuing contingent liabilities and the inherent conflict between financial statement preparers and users. Provide students with a real life example showing the challenges and limitations of existing accounting guidance.

International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, has attracted considerable controversy throughout its development. Major European financial institutions and political agencies lobbied heavily against the development of certain provisions within the standard. Jacques Chirac, the president of France, suggested that the accounting treatment prescribed in IAS 39 threatens the stability of the European economic structure. Despite its efforts to accommodate constituents' concerns, the International Accounting Standards board refused to fully concede to lobby pressure and implemented a compromise standard in March 2004. As a result, the European Union's Accounting Regulatory Committee voted to recommend that the European Commission only partially adopt IAS 39, effectively "carving-out" two provisions that were the focal point of debate. Explores the history of IAS 39, describes the IAS 39 prescribed accounting treatment for fair value and cash flow hedges, outlines heavily debated issues surrounding macro hedge accounting, and illustrates the impact of politics in the accounting standard setting process. Also explores the implications of the European Commission's "carve-out" on the viability of the International Accounting Standards board and the board's overriding goal of global harmonization of financial reporting standards.
learning objective:
To understand: (1) the influence of politics on the accounting standard setting process; (2) the implications of political influence on the goal of harmonization of accounting standards; and (3) the approved International Accounting Standards 39 treatment for macro hedging of interest rate risk.

Jenny Thompson cites benefits of Olympic pool in city
Thursday, January 24, 2013
DOVER — Mother, full-time doctor and four-time Olympian Jenny Thompson said her training in the Garrison City would have been even better if the proposed aquatic center had existed.
The JTAC would not only host swim meets year round, but it would offer swimming lessons, water aerobics, physical therapy, masters programs, water polo, diving, synchronized swimming, scuba and kayaking lessons and training teams.
According to Thompson, "Businesses would also benefit because people will come to Dover for this pool since there are very few others like it in all of New England. There is so much potential to make Dover an even more amazing city."

Golfers play best rounds of season
Strides of improvement continue to be made by the Dell Rapids High School girls golf team, evident in the varsity's play in Vermillion last week.With a team score of 462 at the Vermillion Invite at The Bluffs Golf Course, the Quarriers finished 20 strokes better than what they put up at the team's first meet.Competing for the Quarriers were April Tomes, Natasha Reit, Aleza Kirschenmann, Sarah Haak, Courtney Sorsen and Taylor Brown.Tomes' 99 led Dell Rapids with Kirschenmann not far behind at 104. The scores of both Kirschenmann and Tomes were personal bests.
Coach Jeff Dvorak said he is encouraged by the way his team played in Vermillion, and with a little help from mother nature, the team could really heat up."Hopefully, the weather cooperates and allows us some practice time because I feel these girls would really improve with some hard work on the course," he said.Sioux Falls Christian won the invite with a 320 team score.

The Banner Saga: Factions
The Banner Saga: Factions Overview
The Banner Saga: Factions, a turn-based strategy title based on the Kickstarter funded Banner Saga, lands on the shores of the free-to-play market without much warning, bringing players a nail-biting, intensely tactical experience with a fantasy Viking flavor. Create a vicious war band of over a dozen classes of hardy raiders and giants, customize them all the way down to their personal attributes, and then test them in the field against other players. Be warned, this is a highly competitive experience, and battles are won by a mix of careful team composition, wise field positioning and quick tactical thinking. Whether you're tired of old fashioned MMORPGs or just plain miss the old days of Final Fantasy Tactics, Banner Saga: Factions is sure to keep you entertained (and addicted) for a surprisingly long while.
Raider – The lighter, faster type of combatants, but still able to hold their ground. They are able to form a shield wall when near other warriors, boosting theirs, and others' defense. Can specialize into Thrashers (Offense), Backbiters (Speed) and Raidmaster (Defense).
Archer – Long-range and skirmishing specialists capable of finding the flaws in enemies' defense, but vulnerable at close ranges. Their specializations are often focused around mind games, with Skystrikers (Traps), Siege Archers (Area Denial), and Bowmaster (Offense).
Warrior – Large offense specialists, Shieldbangers are giants capable of striking so hard that all foes surrounding their targets are hit.

The Banner Saga: Factions Review
Full Review
By Gui
Banner Saga: Factions is definitely a fresh breath of air in the free-to-play market, boasting turn-based gameplay, beautiful 2D art, and Kickstarter funding. This might just showcase for good the serious desire for innovation by gamers. Developed by a trio of ex-Bioware members, the game is actually only a portion of the promised experience, with a full single-player campaign expected to be released for backers, and purchase by the public, with an increased focus on story, decision making and general RPG elements. That's not to say it's for everyone – with a strong focus on top-down turn-based tactic and party composition, MMORPG fans might face a bit of a learning curve. But who said that's a bad thing?
Longboats On The Shores
When you start Banner Saga, it's really hard to not just sit there and stare in awe at the 2D graphics and animation. This specific bit might strike a chord with some of us, as it's actually reminiscent of traditional Disney animation, an intentional design choice. There is a lot to see here, and you're treated to some top notch cinematics that could very easily be confused with in-game graphics. Not only that, but also does an excellent job of introducing you to the setting's storyline (though vague) and the brutality of the city of Strand. All-in-all, it's a thrilling introduction and a very good first impression. One somewhat significant downside is that many players seem to be reporting having graphic lag, even in the menu screen. This was also the case for this review, and our solution was to simply lower the resolution, though this is quite the downside. The sounds are crisp, the voices brutal (with tons of grunts and shouts), and the soundtrack fitting, though it does eventually feel a bit repetitive. For everything else technical, well, expect bugs and some incredibly frustrating connection issues, such as losing connection when a game ends, with your hard-earned renown points going up in smoke.
Blood & Thunder
The gameplay itself is short, and somewhat self-contained. It's essentially restricted to one-on-one matches between players, in which they face their composed teams off against each other. The gameplay is simple, but not so easy to master, and the tutorials do a fairly good job of explaining the ins and outs. In short, you have 6 slots to fill with the classes seen in the overview, each of them having different roles, sizes, strengths and weaknesses.
There are some limits to each class, namely for Varls (Shieldbangers and Warriors), which are restricted to 2. The trick is to make the best of your select combination of classes. During a match, your team is placed on a square grid opposed to the enemy, with characters moving in order determined by your composition, and a bit of luck. The combat system consists of two meters, Armor and Power, with power being both the life bar in addition to the damage capacity, and the armor being the number subtracted from the enemy's power to find out the damage your character takes. Don't worry if it seems complicated now, it's actually very simple. And as a system, it's not bad at all. It forces you to make different tactical choices, as a wounded character will not hit as hard, though they can still damage an enemy's armor. You'll need to make wise decisions during battle, or become stuck with maimed characters.
Victory At Sea!
Characters each have stats that you can work on and customize using renown points earned during matches, giving them improved special abilities and new slots for stats. This is both a good, and a troublesome part of the system. While this lets you customize and workshop the individuals of your team to your heart's content, it's also unintentionally a difficulty system. The power of your team is used to match you against other similar powers, but leveling characters is quite time consuming. This means that if your team is high level, you'll inevitably be matched against quite experienced players. This also means that if you purchase renown points in the store to upgrade your team, you'll be matched against players that are much more powerful than you are, inevitably leading to a very frustrating experience. In any case, like in chess, other players will challenge you. Don't get us wrong though, most games are a blast, and classes come together nicely in a many different ways that promote a variety of play styles. For players looking for an extra challenge, there is a ranked mode as well that makes use of an ELO system, matching players by performance in addition to team composition, and an expert mode that shortens turns.
Final Verdict: Good
Overall, this is a sharp, challenging, but short experience that focuses mostly on intense combat, character progression and team composition, rather than a truckload of content(though it could use a bit more of that). It's a fresh breath of originality and innovation in an otherwise often repetitive market, and best of all it looks bloody' good. If you enjoy Vikings, turn-based strategy, or just want to see how bloody' good 2D art can get, then this is the game for you. There is literally no reason to not give this one a try – it's simple, fun, and brutal. So go out there and bash some skulls!

Thanks good article! Really intressting...most ppl say there is no use in 64bit OS, only that it can use more RAM. Atleast I can point at something when I say it does perform better.
Phoronix: Ubuntu 64-bit More Competitive Against Mac OS X
Last week we published Ubuntu 9.04 vs. Mac OS X 10.5.6 benchmarks where we compared the performance of these two popular operating systems on a Mac Mini. With the OS X kernel currently being 32-bit but with support for 64-bit applications, we had used the 32-bit version of Ubuntu 9.04. In a majority of the Leopard operating system from Apple outperformed Canonical's Jaunty Jackalope, but today we are adding in the results from an Ubuntu 64-bit installation. As you can see from the results, the x86_64 version of Ubuntu Linux is more competitive against Mac OS X 10.5.6.
Thanks good article! Really intressting...most ppl say there is no use in 64bit OS, only that it can use more RAM. Atleast I can point at something when I say it does perform better.
Thanks VERY much for next Ext3 benchmark... Who's interested in Ext4?
About this 'regression' fixed in 2.6.29. Regression is probably in GCC or in some library (maybe this also explains why *BSD and Open Solaris aren't performance monsters in PB) and there's only workaround in 2.6.29. If there was regression in Linux kernel many people will complain about it and Linux devs test kernel themselves. If there's even only 2% performance drop they take care of this.

Lies, damned lies, and the statistics:
Seven of the 29 tests changed their winner/loser status for Ubuntu by switching from 32 to 64-bit. Six tests became winners for Ubuntu 64 and 1 became a loser.
12 wins for Mac OS X,
4 wins for Ubuntu 32, and
13 wins for Ubuntu 64.
Ubuntu 64 wins.
I think if the graphics and SQLite performance were fixed then there really wouldn't be much of a performance gap for most desktop users to care about.
cool but the current osx version is 10.5.7
That being said, encryption and video encoding tests also benefit from the additional x86_64 registers, so I expect that 32 bit code will still perform worse.
and to think that *ANY* other distro beats ubuntu hands down in performance...

Hardly a day, a week or a month goes by without some sort of local or national health campaign. March is National Nutrition Month. Created and sponsored by the American Dietetic Association, it's been an annual event since 1980. I've been in practice for as long and I've seen themes come and go. This one is an absolute winner!
The theme for 2010 is "Nutrition From the Ground Up." Going green — in all its meanings — is really important. Think of all the good things that we get from the ground:
What's the point? Research shows that plant foods are low in calories and sustain us in many important ways. Fresh or lightly processed they are also "earth friendly."
Throughout history humans have sought ways to fulfill our basic need for food. One could argue that worldwide agribusiness is mankind's ultimate accomplishment. However what will be our culinary legacy? What will our food supply look like in 10 years? In 50 years? I hope it will be predominantly "green" and not man-made "wonder" bread, chips, catsup and fruity flavored drinks.
Do we need a National Nutrition Month to help us be aware of what we should eat? Maybe so. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a list of monthly health observances — and many of them focus on nutrition. Take advantage of them.
What are your thoughts?

When I am well rested and not seesrstd. I have a health issue I have been dealing with for nine years. On a bad day I can feel much worse than on a good day. If I am rested, calm and at peace I have the ability to deal with the daily pain of my condition. If I am tired and overwhelmed with other issues, the pain seems worse and makes the stress of other issues seem worse. I get tired easier and my pain tolerance is lower. Obviously, you cant isolate yourself from life, but you can learn coping skills to help.
Jennifer, I need your expertise, or ability to consult with those in your peer group about a topic I'm having trouble getting data on. I have recently had gallbladder surgery, my doctor suggested I stop drinking water purified by reverse osmosis. He said it is very pure, but it is so pure all the minerals have been removed, making the water a hypo-tonic solution. Mixing this "dead water" with my body a hyper-tonic solution causes the two solutions to balance, stealing minerals from my organs, causing potential stones and osteoporosis. Can this be true? Can you direct me to some articles about drinking water that has been purified by the RO process? Our body is mostly water, I'm concerned about the water I drink. I was directed by a guy at a show to filter my water from the tap and swears by the Berkeyproducts Black element what can you recommend for home water filtration?
I love nutrition month so much NOW AND FOREVER............................
A National Nutrition Month sounds like a great idea. Actually, I thought there already was a National Nutrition Month; there is a day or a month for just about everything else. Just kidding, I really appreciate your article. Thanks for sharing!
I have been a lacto ovo-vegetarian for most of my life, but still seem to struggle with my wt.. I eat nuts and beans, fruits and veggies, whole wheat bread with 6gm of fiber per serving daily. It seems though that, what ever I eat just get packed on my belly. I look like a Buddha. What can I do differently. any suggestion, please?
After eating the heavy meat, Fred Flintstone diet most of my life, a heart attack last year opened me up to a plant based diet, so eat more fruits and vegetables before the same thing happens to you. My cholesterol was in the normal range except I had low hdl.
Great article. I have been eating a mostly vegan diet for a year now, and have experienced incredible weight loss and health, as well as strength and endurance benefits!
I think you're right, we do unfortunately need a month to remind people that eating healthy is important and we should be eating the right types of foods. What would be nice is to have an iPhone app that gives you daily healthy recipes. They may have one already, I'm not sure. I just think that everyone lives a fast paced life that they don't take the time to take proper care of their body.
Sure!! we need reminders!! all of us (if not why we have holidays to remember things....???) We need encouragement, just like kids, and these monthly events or topics are GREAT for that.
Keep the good work. :)

Visit the Big Apple for Your Next Vacation
New York city guide
"The city that never sleeps," New York lives up to its nickname with exciting diversions 24/7. Whether you're ready to experience the thrill of a Broadway show or you want to step into the shoes of the many immigrants who began their lives in New York with a visit to Ellis Island, the Big Apple offers both opportunities and countless more.
The USA's largest city, New York is made up of five distinct boroughs: Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Each district has a unique personality and features all its own, but most visitors gravitate toward Manhattan: despite being just 12 miles long and three miles wide, this central district offers plenty of action for all age groups.
Exploring other areas couldn't be easier, either; just hop on board a bus or subway line. Overall, NYC has the advantage of being seriously walkable, but also boasts a reliable and well-organized public transit system. No matter where you stay when you're in town, there's a good chance you won't be too far from the action.
Things to see and do
Get a bird's-eye-view of NYC
The vertical power of this city is nearly overwhelming. Only like New York embodies the golden era of skyscrapers, and eight of them became the tallest in the world at different times over the course of the 20th century. Get a bird's-eye view of New York with an elevator ride up the Empire State Building, or try less-crowded but equally impressive Top of the Rock. This observation points extends over the 67th, 69th and 70th floors of the Rockefeller Center, from which you'll find fantastic views of Manhattan, Central Park and the Empire State Building.
Eat your way from Chinatown to Little Italy
When it comes to dining in New York, you really are spoilt for choice. Little Italy and Chinatown are packed with authentic eateries, while popular all-American diners like Stardust serve classics like Brooklyn Bagel, burgers, crispy wings and nachos. Finding the best bagel in New York could easily become the ultimate quest during your time in the city; take a look here to find some of the potential nominees.
If celebrity-spotting is at the top of your menu, check out Serendipity 3 on East 60th Street. Legendary for its "Frrrozen Hot Chocolate" dessert, this hotspot is always bustling and often sprinkled with some famous faces.
The stars of Broadway
Mesmerized by the bright lights of Broadway? Make sure to book theater tickets in advance and if you're not too picky about the production, you might even score seats near the stage at discount prices. Just ask the box office staff if the show has a daily ticket lottery system in place. From Wicked to Phantom of the Opera to Chicago, you could be watching one of the biggest shows on the planet when you're in town.
Where to stay
If you're itching to stay in the heart of the city, look no further than Manhattan's Uptown. Its northernmost clime is home to the Guggenheim Museum and the Met, Greenwich Village, Central Park and a revitalized, culture-drenched Harlem.
It goes without saying that NYC's most exclusive hotels are in Midtown: the New York Marriott Marquis (right on Times Square), The Peninsula New York (Fifth Avenue), Doubletree Guest Suites (Times Square) and the Carlyle (Madison Avenue). The famous lights of Broadway are only a cab or subway ride away, and affordable Midtown stays are also available: take a look at our Budget Big Apple guide for all the Manhattan tips you need.
A city within a city, Manhattan's lower precinct is made up of world-famous areas such as Chinatown, Little Italy, Wall Street and the resurrected World Trade Center. Soho's fashionistas, Tribeca's celebrities, and the East Village's culinary delights also make downtown truly cosmopolitan.
Close enough to the Manhattan buzz, but with a laid-back feel, Brooklyn is a borough where you can experience echoes of New York from days gone by, while enjoying the hippest crowds, trends and venues. Here you'll find hotels to suit a wide range of budgets and tastes. Just across the East River from Manhattan, the New York Marriott at Brooklyn Bridge is a gateway to both Manhattan and the heart of Brooklyn. Close to McCarren Park, the uber-cool King and Grove Williamsburg is the first full-service lifestyle hotel in Brooklyn. On Dean Street, The Missing Lantern offers the kind of affordable rooms that make Brooklyn a prime option for those traveling on a budget.

What is RC Boating?:
RC boating is a hobby where model boats, sometimes scaled down from their life size counterparts, are run (and often raced) via radio control (hence, "RC"). There are many forms of RC boating, including sail, electric, steam, gasoline and nitro powered. IMPBA, as a sanctioning body, primarily focuses on racing the nitro/gasoline and electric varieties. The following gives some brief information on types of powering, hull classifications, size categorizing, and IMPBA heat racing formats.
Sail - A sailboat is powered primarily, as one might guess, by the wind. Sails catch the wind and move the boat just as in the life-size version. Radio control is used to move the sails and rudder to the positions needed to catch the wind and propel the boat in the intended direction.
Electric - Electric boats come in a wide variety of types, including submarines, tugboats, boats for show, and boats for racing. These boats are powered the same as the more well known RC cars, by 6 to 12 cell nicad battery packs. Electric boats are quieter and cleaner than the nitro and gasoline types, and therefore more easily accepted on small, urban, running sites. Although typically noted as being much slower than the nitro and gasoline boats, this sector of the hobby continues to gain speed and enthusiastic support from hobbyists.
Nitro - So named for the fuel they burn, nitro boats use nitro-methane as their power source. These boats tend to have more speed than electric boats, and generally get more run time. Whereas batteries for an electric boat must be recharged after one run, a nitro boat can simply be refilled with fuel and sent out for another run. Each run typically lasts 5-10 minutes. Expect to pay more, initially, to run a nitro boat than electric, and pay at least $15 per gallon of fuel. The cost increases if you like the higher nitro (50% and up) for your boats.
Gasoline - Typically large boats, these are powered by gasoline in so-called "weed whacker" engines. Run times exceed those of nitro boats and of course the fuel is less expensive. In IMPBA racing, many people running "large scale gas" use the same hulls as the nitro boaters, but adapt them for gasoline engines.
Hull Classifications
There are two major classifications of hulls which are addressed in the IMPBA guidelines: mono hulls and hydro hulls. Within the hydro hull segment, there are eight approved classifications, although three are typically noted: outriggers, catamarans, and tunnel hulls.
Mono Hulls - This type of hull has a continuous wetted surface when operating at racing speed. Their shape is in the form of a V, probably the best known to people as the boat hull used in the popular TV series Miami Vice. They are noted for their ability to slice through rough, choppy water. The hull has no discontinuities between, or steps in, the wetted surface running at more than a 15 degree angle with keel; and no point on the hull cross section can be deeper in the water than the center keel. The hull can be lap straked (at least one strake on each side of keel), but the strakes must not be as low as keel. Single step and multiple step hulls that do not meet this last criteria are considered hydro hulls.
Outriggers (hydro hull) - The 3-point suspension, 4-point suspension, and multi-suspension hulls, as classified by IMPBA fall into this category. Along either side of the main portion of the boat are sponsons which do not run the length of the boat. These sponsons may be in the front, at the rear, or both. When racing, the sponsons and the propeller are typically the only parts of the boat touching the water.
Catamarans (hydro hull) - As with the tunnel hull, this type has full side sponsons, running the length of the boat. With an extended free board, they resemble full-sized offshore racing hulls.
Tunnel Hull (hydro) - These are a variation of the 3-point design, but the sponsons run the full length of the boat. This creates a tunnel or cushion of air that is trapped along the length of the boat, helping it move faster.
