Referrals for the GT program may be made by parents, school personnel, students, and community members. Those who wish to nominate a student will complete a nomination form to be returned to the GT Coordinator.
Parents are sent a "Consent to Collect Data" form and an evaluation checklist to be returned for the student's portfolio.
Classroom teachers also complete an inventory of their observations of the student's behavior in different areas of giftedness.
Data Collection
The results of at least two subjective and two objective measures in the areas of academic achievement, mental ability, motivation/task commitment, and creativity are compiled. Other anecdotal data may include grades, student products, benchmark scores, and/or curriculum based measurements.
No single criterion or cut-off score is used to include or exclude a student.
Identification and placement are ongoing throughout the school year. A Placement Committee consisting of the GT Coordinator, the building principal, the building counselor, and two or three building teachers meet throughout the year to conduct reviews of all referrals.
The committee considers the student's entire profile rather than a single score or a series of minimum scores when making a placement decision.
After reviewing multiple sources of data, the placement committee may make one of three recommendations:
1. Place in the GT program
2. Remain in the regular classroom
3. Further consideration
Students identified as gifted and talented show evidence of an interaction among all three areas of above average intellectual ability, task commitment/motivation, and creative ability.
In the case of further consideration, the committee asks for additional data in order to make a decision in the best interest of the child.
Students who are nominated, but not placed in the GT program, may be re-nominated after one year.
Letters are sent home advising parents of the committee's decision. If the committee recommends GT placement, the student's parents must give signed permission for their child to participate in the program.
Decisions involving referral, identification, or placement in the gifted and talented program are made without discrimination or bias in regard to ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic standing, or disability.

An Option to Partner: A Dyadic Analysis of CVC Relationships
This paper takes a real options view of corporate venture capital (CVC), which are direct minority equity investments made by established companies in privately held entrepreneurial ventures. CVC investments have been characterized as creating growth options for corporate investors. We argue corporate investors often exercise these growth options by forming strategic alliances with their portfolio firms. We identify and empirically test a set of factors that lead established firms to exercise the growth options embedded in CVC investments by forming strategic alliances with the entrepreneurial ventures in which they invested. We explore how uncertainty surrounding a CVC investment influences the likelihood of future alliance formation.

Speaker of the House John Boehner defended his conservative bona fides Thursday, arguing during a press conference that it "pains" him to be described as a "squish" by members of his own party
His comments, directed at the conservative wing of the GOP, come days after 25 members of his own party, many of whom argue he is not sufficiently conservative, voted against him for speaker. Boehner still won re-election.
"During my years here when I voted, I had the eighth most conservative voting record in the Congress," Boehner said Thursday, rebutting the conservative criticism. "And it does pain me to be described as spineless or a squish."
"And I tell you what pains me the most is when they describe me as the establishment," Boehner continued. "Now, I'm the most anti-establishment speaker we've ever had."

If you are into Japanese pop culture, the bizarre sense of humor and the absurdity of Big Man Japan will surely entertain and amuse you. Director, protagonist and famous comedian, Hitoshi Matsumoto, has reinterpreted the familiar path of traditional daikaiju (big monster) pics, creating a mockumentary with CG monster battles and Power Rangers parody. But don't expect the action and speed of Hollywood super-heroes movies and of course it's to be expected that some people will get the joke and some will not.
"A middle-aged slacker living in a rundown, graffiti-ridden slum, Daisoto's job involves being shocked by bolts of electricity that transform him into a stocky, stick-wielding giant several stories high who is entrusted with defending Japan from a host of bizarre monsters. But while his predecessors were national heroes, he is a pariah among the citizens he protects, who bitterly complain about the noise and destruction of property he causes. And Daisato has his own problems – an agent insistent on branding him with sponsor advertisements, an Alzheimer-afflicted grandfather who transforms into a giant in dirty underwear, and a family who is embarrassed by his often cowardly exploits. A wickedly deadpan spin on the giant Japanese superhero, BIG MAN JAPAN is an outrageous portrait of a pathetic, but truly unique hero." Magnet's Six Shooter Film Series

Yesterday we learned from II Timothy 1:7 that God has given us three weapons to combat fear. Today we are going to talk about our first weapon: power. And I love how God works! I stumbled upon a quote yesterday that is perfect for introducing our discussion today. Cynthia Heald says,
"What God wanted the Israelites to know (as they entered Canaan) was that it was His strength that would go before them to defeat giants and bring down walls. They still had to enter the land and fight, but His enabling would give the victory. They were not to depend upon their strength, but His. They were not to look at giants, but at their God. The Lord is still teaching this truth today. He longs to show Himself mighty on our behalf; He longs to be our source of strength. He wants us to believe the Scripture."
Let's look at how God instructs us to be strong…
Day Eighteen:
We are all aware how fear attacks our sense of power. It whispers to us, "You can't do this! Who are you trying to fool? This is too big for you to even attempt! Consider the obstacles for goodness sake! Besides, you are too weak, too young, too old, too foolish, too far gone."
Fear will either convince us to not even try or it will persuade us to act outside of God's power in our lives and take matters into our own hands. When attacked with this kind of fear, we need to take up the weapon of power.
Ephesians 6:10 says, "Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might."
Scripture teaches us that all power resides with God and that He dwells within us to enable us to do what we otherwise could not. We are strong and fully equipped in the Lord, even in our weaknesses. (I talk about this in-depth in my seven day devotional. You can download the devotional simply by subscribing to www.ArabahJoy.com )
Proverbs 31:17 says the virtuous woman "dresses herself with strength."
Stop a minute and think about this. The concept of dressing can help us learn how to tap into God's power made available to us. Let's take a look at how she does it so we can learn to do the same.
She dresses.
Dressing is a skill, a learned practice. It is not a natural ability that you either have or you don't. The Proverbs 31 woman had to learn how to dress, just like we must. The phrase here "to dress" implies "Preparing one's self for something that requires readiness, strength, or endurance."
Which pretty much describes living a godly life.
Sure, it would be easier if it came naturally, but once we realize it is something we learn, we are free to start practicing! Men and women and boys and girls of all ages can learn how to put on strength.
God calls us to be women who practice putting on His strength like we would our clothes. Morning after morning.
She dresses herself.
We can and should come to the place where we don't expect others to make life easy for us. Many women- even older women- have never learned how to dress themselves with strength. They expect others around them to make their lives easier or more comfortable. They are high maintenance women.
As we learn to dress ourselves, we eliminate the props that hold us up and are instead strengthened by the Lord alone. Then we are in a position to serve and minister to others.
She dresses herself with strength.
Ever wonder why the particular trait of strength is pointed out in the life of the virtuous woman? I think it is because God places women (men too!) in situations where we are overwhelmed. The demands He places on us are beyond our abilities. Like the disciples in Mark 6:32-37, there are multitudes of people around us with impossible needs and Jesus turns to us and says, "You feed them!"
We can either sit there overwhelmed . . . or we can take up faith and clothe ourselves with strength. (Remember, strength is having a "can do" attitude.)
My friend, unless we have a good, solid understanding of how God equips, provides, and strengthens, we will either flat-line or wear ourselves out serving in our own strength. Today's a great day to start dressing with the strength of the Lord!
What do you do when overwhelmed by the odds? Do you shut down? Do you take matters into your own hands? Or do you strengthen yourself in the Lord?
We fight this type of fear, the sense of powerlessness, with the spirit of power God has given us. Practice dressing yourself with strength when you recognize this fear.

It's so funny to me reading this race report - where YOU, trail runner, ran on the roads and ME, road runner, just ran a 33k trail race. Oh the irony :). I am loving the trails more though...but I do miss the speed of the road. Congratulations on feeling fantastic the entire way and finishing a great race. Your marathon in a couple weeks will be easy peasy for you - you got it.
So happy to see Anette there for you, as always. I know this means so much to you!
Spoke with Kathleen of Happy Trails yesterday and your name was brought up :). She wanted to know if you were doing PPM this year and I told her no, you had other U.S. plans one day. She said, "Oh dear, that's a toughie." I had to smile. :)

Well done! You run way more miles than I do, but I've totally had those thoughts of 1) being so thankful that I can run and 2) not always appreciating that some of these distances are an accomplishment, not "just" x number of miles. But it's also cool to feel that way about a distance that used to scare you (of course, as long as you've been running you may not remember that! :D).

Glad that you have such a nice supporter!

Part love story, part workplace drama, this sharply observed novel is a witty critique of the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world. New York Times best-selling author Sophie Kinsella has written her most timely novel yet.
Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie's life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle - from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she's trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.
Then, just as she's finding her feet - not to mention a possible new romance - the worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family's farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far away - until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katie's future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life.
Sophie Kinsella is celebrated for her vibrant, relatable characters and her great storytelling gifts. Now she returns with all of the wit, warmth, and wisdom that are the hallmarks of her best sellers to spin this fresh, modern story about presenting the perfect life when the reality is far from the truth.
©2017 Sophie Kinsella (P)2017 Random House Audio
"Katie is a winning heroine.... Kinsella creates characters that are well-rounded, quirky, and a complete joy to read." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Driven by Katie's witty observations and numerous missteps as she attempts to reconcile various aspects of her identity, this novel is smartly satirical and entertaining." (Publishers Weekly)
"Another outstanding novel...a perfect combination of fun, laughable moments rounded out with some deep-seated family and relationship issues." (Booklist)
"Somewhat disappointed"
I love Sophie Kinsella, but this book was not a win for me. I did finish it, but at times I didn't feel connected to the book. It was drawn out. I did enjoy the beginning, there were definitely some laugh out loud moments, but not enough to save this book for me.
"Ok. Full Disclosure:"
What a welcome reprieve from nasty world politics. Loved this chance to escape into a new Sophie novel. Very different from her other novels, but still full of great wit and loveable characters. Switched my schedule up today and did a bunch of cooking and cleaning just so I could play this audiobook. Highly recommend for a lovely escape.
"Another winner by Sophie Kinsella!"
I have never been disappointed by any of Sophie kinsella books. This book was just as wonderful as all the others and I enjoyed every minute listening to it. I just finished it and I'm wanting to read it again immediately... Just in case I missed something. The narrator did a wonderful job, as well. I always know that I will be entertained while listening to a book or reading a book written by Sophie Kinsella!
"so predictable but still had to finish"
this book had me right from the start, but the main character just got so obnoxious in the middle (which I realize was part of the point). But, many of the "major" plot twists felt so predictable, yet I still felt the need to finish out the book (maybe it is because I'm driving across country and there wasn't much else to do).
I also thought the book was a bit YA in certain areas
Basically I wouldn't recommend or listen again, but because I did finish it, I kept the overall at 3 stars. so again, it wasn't horrible, but I would definitely pass.
"another winner"
like most of Ms. Kinsella's books this built wonderful momentum and had me laughing out loud. while listening to the last chapter I had to put down my computer, I couldn't do anything else but Focus
"She did it again!!!"
Whenever I am bored with life all I have to do is pick up a Sophie Kinsella book! Always a fun time!
"lighthearted fun read"
read story, good narrator. all likeable characters and plot. good beach or travelling read. will recommend.
"Must Read:)"
A fun book!
I like all about her home away from the big city.
Yes, and this was just as good as her others.
I think the part where they were having a drink. (The club)
I find all her books entertaining and the best books to listen to when driving:)
"Kinsella all the same?"
I purchased "Can you keep a Secret" and enjoyed the lighthearted characters so I decided to carry on with Kinsella and try this one out. IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME! Mousy, young lead character who wishes to climb up the corporate ladder and is invisible to her peers....meets high powered, rich handsome boss and subsequently their on/off ; love/hate relationship ensues. Absolutely ridiculous how this is the exact same story and I won't be listening to any more of her books. Very disappointed
"Charming story that takes you out of your day"
It's a fun story, great for taking you out of your day. It's not the most deep book, but it's entertaining and has some wise tidbits throughout . I listened to it within a couple if days as it just kind of sucks you in.
The narrator does a great job. She has a pleasant voice, let's the emotion shine through and let's you imagine what is happening.

Recent Australian privacy reforms will significantly affect offshore share incentives for Australian employees - .PDF file.
By Alec Christie
The changes to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the introduction of the new Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), significantly increase the obligations imposed on an offshore parent or related entity that collects or deals with personal information from Australian residents (i.e. employees) in connection with managing employee share incentive plans.
When the reforms become effective on 12 March 2014, many of the current practices of overseas entities that offer Australian employees the ability to participate in plans will not, for information collected from 12 March 2014, be compliant with Australian privacy law and will need to be changed.
From 12 March 2014, the functions and powers of the privacy commissioner (the relevant government regulator) are significantly enhanced; the existing National Privacy Principles (NPPs), currently applicable to the private sector, are replaced with the new APPs, which are applicable to both the public and private sectors; and, for the first time in Australia, significant monetary penalties for both serious and repeated invasions of privacy (i.e. breaches of the Privacy Act/APPs) are available…

Merging international firms must find a model that suits their clients rather than their management
If it was anatomically possible, international firms that have merged or combined should pat themselves on the back – it's not easy.
Mergers or combinations mirror the changing dynamics of the business world. To be clear, the decision to undertake such a change must be driven by markets and clients, and their needs and expectations and not head-office aspirations.
A firm must have a strategy, even if this is to remain on its current trajectory. The key is execution. Firms' recent announcements of international links reflect their differing aspirations, but, no matter what is said, most of these are either defensive – plays between competing 'old world' firms – or offensive plays by 'new world' firms.
None of this is surprising, given the long-term trends in the European and US markets and the potential client base, transaction and capital flows from growth or developing markets.
In Australia, the market has been revalued by the boom in energy and resources, and its perceived proximity to Asia. However, booms rarely last and the relevance and depth of a firm in its local markets, coupled with international capability, will be a key differentiating factor.
In a global play, the synergies of combining a substantially European-weighted international firm with a similar-sized Australian firm without any significant impact on regional or developing markets are puzzling. We all know the real play is China and the region; this is where clients are looking and firms need to follow.
Another observation is that the model used for the link is often given more weight than the benefit it delivers to clients. Some firms have chosen a fully integrated financial merger on the basis it will align incentives and accelerate integration.
This is interesting, as that model inherently limits the footprint of the firm at a time when clients are expecting their advisers to have real depth in more of the locations in which they operate, because of the difficulty of creating consistent profitability in each location and the amount of management time it takes to make it work. Such a structure loses the nimbleness clients expect.
It is also interesting as it suggests a priority on the growth of partner profits and how those profits are shared, rather than on the value and capabilities the firm is focused on delivering. I am not suggesting that profit is not important, but once a firm's structure is driven by profits and not clients and capabilities we have reached a turning point.
Other alliance models seem to rely on a wait-and-see approach to integration. Where there are no barriers to integration, this seems like a 'Goldilocks' approach – neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm.
Firms must convince clients they can cover key markets. Local depth and expertise with international capability is increasingly essential as the weight of the global economy moves from west to east.
The days of ex-pats with no local connections and firms with no depth in local markets is over. The era of local-born, Western-educated advisers in firms with local market depth and international capability is upon us. That is the new force to be harnessed and what will underpin the creation of the next generation of law firms.

Numerical study on active wave devouring propulsion
- 1.7k Downloads

The possibility of extracting energy from gravity waves for marine propulsion was numerically studied by a two-dimensional oscillating hydrofoil in this study. The commercially available computational fluid dynamics software FLUENT was used for the unstructured grid based on the Reynolds-average Navier–Stokes equation. The free surface waves and motion of the flapping foil were implemented by customizing the FLUENT solver using a user-defined function technique. In addition, dynamic mesh technology and post processing capabilities were fully utilized. The validation of the model was carried out using experimental data for an oscillation hydrofoil under the waves. The results of the simulation were investigated in detail in order to explain the increase of propeller efficiency in gravity waves. Eight design parameters were identified and it was found that some of them greatly affected the performance of wave energy extraction by the active oscillating hydrofoil. Finally, the overall results suggested that when the design parameters are correctly maintained, the present approach can increase the performance of the oscillating hydrofoil by absorbing energy from sea waves.
KeywordsWave devouring propulsion Flapping foil Numerical simulation
1 Introduction
Rising energy bills and intensifying pressure to reduce CO2 emission have caused increasing demand for alternative energy sources for many sectors including marine propulsion. The ocean waves have long been considered as a substantial source of energy for marine propulsion. However, utilization of wave energy has not been studied extensively because of the complexity of nonlinear oscillatory hydrodynamics.
Several experiments have been performed to examine the possibility of utilizing the energy from ocean waves for marine propulsion (Jakobsen [1], Isshiki et al. [2], Terao [3]). In their concept, one or two hydrofoils were fixed to the ship through a spring system, in a manner that the angle of the hydrofoils could be adjusted as the direction of incoming water is changed. In the meantime, the ship and the hydrofoils are heaving and pitching with incoming waves and produce forward thrust on the hydrofoil.
The corresponding problem with the moving foil oscillating in an unbounded fluid has been studied for several decades. Swimming of slender fish has been treated by Lighthill [4], and the waving motion of a two-dimensional flexible plate has been calculated by Wu [5]. Later, based on the potential flow approach, a series of papers by Wu [6, 7, 8] optimized the oscillation motion and shape parameters for two-dimensional flat plates. Furthermore, several theories of an oscillating foil have been developed. Bose [9] has developed a time-domain panel method for analysis of an oscillating foil in unsteady motion. Kubota et al. [10] and Kudo et al. [11] have developed two dimensional linear and nonlinear theories which can estimate propulsive performance of partly flexible as well as rigid oscillating propulsors. They also showed that an aft-half elastic foil reveals 8 % higher efficiency than a rigid foil. Yamaguchi and Bose [12] extended the work of Kubota et al. and Kudo et al. to design rigid and aft-half elastic oscillating foils for a large-scale ship. Their results showed that both oscillating foils can give higher propulsive efficiency than an optimal screw propeller, and the elastic foil gives 5–7 % higher propulsive efficiency than the screw propeller. Early hydrodynamics models were restricted to potential flow assumption. But with the advancement of computers, more sophisticated numerical models have been introduced to analyze the performance of an oscillating foil. Pedro et al. [13] and Guglielmini and Blondeaux [14] have investigated the performance of a low Reynolds number oscillating foil based on a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach and promising results have been reported. Other studies (Lai et al. [15], Anderson et al. [16] and Gopalkrishnan et al. [17]) have addressed the thrust producing capability of an oscillating hydrofoil by experimental work. They have shown that the potential efficiency of the oscillation hydrofoil propulsor can compete with that of a conventional rotating propeller. However, an oscillating hydrofoil has not been considered as a practical replacement because of the mechanical complexity even with the improvement of efficiency up to some extent. Because of that, some of them extended their studies on oscillating foils to consider propulsion by using wave energy as described in the following paragraphs.
For the first time in history Wu [18] introduced the theory for extracting energy from surrounding flows by a two-dimensional hydrofoil oscillating through gravity waves in water. According to his theory, it has been found that the energy extraction is impossible if the flow is uniform, and only feasible when the primary flow contains a wave component which has vertical velocity normal to the mean free stream and the wing span. Finally, he was able to obtain the best mode of heave and pitching for extraction of wave energy by passive type wave devouring propulsor.
Later, Isshiki [19] employed Wu's theory of an oscillating hydrofoil and extended it by introducing a free surface effect for investigating the possibility of wave devouring propulsion by a passive type oscillating hydrofoil. Further, not only theoretically, but also experimentally, Isshiki and Murakami [20] studied the basic concept of passive type wave devouring capability of an oscillating hydrofoil.
In addition, to illustrate the unsteady foil motions and wave devouring capabilities, Grue et al. [21] developed a theory for a two-dimensional flat plate near the free surface using a frequency-domain integral equation approach. The theory in both head and following waves was in good agreement with the experiment conducted by Isshiki and Murakami [20]; however, with lower wave numbers there were systematic discrepancies between the theory and the experimental results as nonlinear effects and free surface effects were not fully accounted for in the theory.
Despite these inviting results by several independent studies, a significant commercial success is yet to be seen. The drawbacks of the concept have added resistance in calm seas as well as mechanical complexity. Although the oscillating foil propulsor is mechanically complex, if the gain by recovering the wave energy is considerable, it may be more attractive than the conventional screw propeller. In the present study, therefore, we propose a new concept of wave energy recovering through a powered oscillating foil propulsor, which is designed to replace the conventional screw propeller. The objectives are to develop a numerical model which can predict the oscillating foil performance in a wave field and to elucidate the physical mechanisms.

In the above equation g is gravitational acceleration.
3 Modeling of oscillating foil under the wave
The CFD code, FLUENT 6.3 used in this study employs the cell-centered finite volume method that allows the use of computational elements with arbitrary shapes. Free surface deformation was captured using the Volume of Fraction (VOF) method. Reynolds averaging approach with two equations model of k-ω SST model was used for modeling the turbulence. Convective terms were discretized using the second-order accurate upwind scheme, while diffusive terms were discretized using the second-order accurate central differentiation scheme and the volume fraction was discretized with modified high resolution interface capturing (HRIC) option. The velocity pressure coupling and overall solution procedure were based on a SIMPLE type segregated algorithm adapted to structured and unstructured grids. Finally the discretized equations were solved by using point wise Gauss–Seidel iteration.
Boundary conditions were set to simulate the oscillation of the foil under a wave: on the inlet boundary, horizontal and vertical velocity components for generating waves, u and v (Eqs. 14, 15), were imposed with a turbulence intensity of 1 % and pressure extrapolated from inside. On the foil surface, a no-slip condition was imposed, i.e., zero relative velocity with extrapolated pressure. On the outer boundary, the pressure was set to a hydrostatic pressure as a function of depth from the free surface, while all other variables were extrapolated. The first order accurate scheme was used for the extrapolation.
The above wave generation equations and foil motions (in Eqs. 4, 5) are implemented in the FLUENT solver by programming a user defined function (UDF).
Towards the end of the computational domain, an artificial damping zone was applied, so that the wave energy is gradually dissipated in the direction of wave propagation to prevent the wave reflection. The profile and magnitude of the artificial damping have to be designed to minimize the possible wave reflection at entrance of the damping zone and maximize the wave energy dissipation. After comprehensive tests, the length of the damping zone was determined as to be at least three wavelengths. The damping zone was designed by introducing numerical source term into the momentum equation specified by UDF.
u, v, are the velocities in the Cartesian coordinate system, U is the mean flow velocity and, X1 and X2 are the x coordinates of starting and ending points of the damping zone. The performance and efficiency of the artificial damping coefficient Ca were numerically tested and confirmed.
4 Grid dependency study on an oscillating foil under a wave
Verification refers to an estimation of the numerical errors and uncertainties in the process of iteration and grid refinement, which are inevitable issues in the numerical computations. To evaluate the grid dependency, four grids were generated with the same meshing strategy (as described in Sect. 3), but with systematically decreasing the element size on the foil surface and near the free surface. In those four test cases non-dimensional parameters (describe in Sect. 6) were set as, wave phase angle −90°, phase difference of heave and pitch 40°, Froude number 0.87, Reynolds number 5 × 107, non-dimensional heave amplitude 0.5, extended feathering parameter 0.2 and non-dimensional submergence depth 1.28, and further, wave amplitude 1 m and the wave encounter frequency and foil oscillation frequency were kept equal at 0.156 Hz.

Grid studies were conducted using four grids, which enables two separate three-grid studies to be performed and compared.

Comparing the estimated grid error through uncertainty UG, the grid uncertainty is less for GS1 than GS2 and the values (0.1 and 0.17 % grid 1, respectively) are reasonable in consideration of the overall number of grid points used. Therefore, for the rest of the numerical study medium-1 grid is used.

Even though the experiment was conducted with passive type oscillation foil, the simulations were carried out by using active type oscillation foil. However, the simulations motion condition of heave amplitude, pitch amplitude, phase differences and oscillation frequencies are kept identical with the experiment, and the oscillation frequency of the foil and the wave encounter frequency are set to be equal. Further, the heave and pitching motions in the free running test were assumed with corresponding sine function and also average advanced velocity of the free running test was assumed for the advance velocity of the active oscillation foil in simulations. The amplitude of the waves observed in the experiment has shown a considerable scattering; therefore, the mean value of the amplitude was chosen for comparison. The size of the numerical domain was the same as the experimental tank and the same meshing strategy as described in Sect. 3 was used for modeling the numerical domain.

6.1 Wave encounter frequency effect
Wu [18] investigated the effect of frequency on extraction of wave energy by his theoretical study. It has been confirmed that when the wave encounter frequency and foil oscillation frequency are equal, the energy gain is maximized. In other words, the energy gain is always accompanied by the increase of the leading-edge suction, suggesting a tendency towards leading edge stall. The above argument has been further investigated numerically by the present study. The non-dimensionalized wave encounter frequency (ω0/2πf) was changed from 0.5 to 2, keeping the foil oscillation frequency (f) constant and changing the wave encounter frequency (ω0) accordingly. The wave length was changed according to the wave encounter frequency and rest of the parameters were kept constant as Froude number 0.87, wave phase angle −90°, phase difference between heave and pitch 40°, non-dimensional heave amplitude 0.6 and non-dimensional submergence depth 1.28.
6.2 Effect of phase difference between wave and foil motion (ψ)
Phase difference between wave and foil motion is discussed in this section. Nine simulations of different phase angles (ψ) were performed varying from −180° to +180°. The following parameters were set to be constant as Froude number 0.87, phase difference between heave and pitch 105°, non-dimensional heave amplitude 0.6, extended feathering parameter 0.43 and non-dimensional submergence depth 1.28. The physical interpretation of wave phase difference ψ is defined as when the wave frame of reference has been fixed at the wave crest (the vertical component of the wave orbital velocity is about to go downwards), then the wave phase difference is at 0° and 180°, the foil is at the mean position (submergence depth = h1) and about to go upwards and downwards with respect to the wave frame of reference respectively. And also when the wave phase difference is −90° and +90°, the foil is at its bottommost position and uppermost position respectively.
6.3 Phase angle effect between heave and pitching motion (φ)
The previous studies on infinite water oscillating foils suggested that the phase angle between heave and pitching motion is a very sensitive parameter for the efficiency and thrust generation mechanism. Therefore, the thrust generation mechanism of an oscillating foil propulsor under the waves has been investigated in different phase angles. Sixteen simulations were carried out with varying phase angles φ from 0 to 180° while keeping the other design parameters constant as Froude number 0.87, wave phase angle −90°, non-dimensional heave amplitude 0.6, extended feathering parameter 0.43 and non-dimensional submergence depth 1.28. Varying the phase from 90° causes the hydrofoil to have a non-zero pitch angle at the top and bottom positions. If the phase angle is greater than 90° at the lowest position of the heaving motion, the hydrofoil will pitch upwards and, if less than 90° at the same position, the hydrofoil will pitch downwards.
In Fig. 14, maximum resultant forces are applied to the foil due to the increase in effective angle of attack. Horizontal components of those resultant forces are much higher and thereby increase the thrust. Also, the vertical component of force is high which results in high instantaneous power supply to the propulsor. As shown in Fig. 15, at the phase angle 60°, the force contribution to the thrust is much higher and the magnitude of instantaneous lift is the smallest. Because of that reason maximum efficiency is achieved near 60°. In Fig. 16, the vertical component of instantaneous force is dominant at phase angle 110°, thus making the higher power input to the foil. Also, the horizontal component gets the minimum values for thrust.
6.4 Froude number effect
The Froude number provides a significant contribution to the wave devouring propulsion because the wave encounter frequencies are highly dependent on the advancing velocity of oscillating foil propulsor. In this section, wave devouring performance is numerically investigated by changing the Froude number based on advancing speed of the oscillating foil. The Froude number is changed from 0.6 to 2. In order to change the Froude number, advancing speed and wave length have to change accordingly. Even though the wave length has changed by the simulation, the wave encounter frequency and foil oscillation frequency are kept constant at 0.23 Hz. To keep the extended feathering parameter at 0.2 the pitching amplitude has to change accordingly. Moreover, the other parameters are kept constants as non-dimensional heave amplitude 0.5, wave phase angle −90°, phase difference between heave and pitch 40° and non-dimensional submergence depth 1.28.
6.5 Feathering parameter
The extended feathering parameter provides a measure of the relative magnitude of pitch and heave velocities with included vertical wave velocity (Eq. 26). Physically, the feathering parameter is denoted as the ratio of the foil slope to the slope of the path traveled by the pitching axis of the oscillating foil with respect to the space fixed incoming wave profile. In the computation the feathering parameter ε is varied from 0 to 1 while changing the pitching amplitude 0–36° accordingly. The same variation of fathering parameter could be achieved by varying the heave amplitude instead of pitching amplitude. But if we changed the heave amplitude instead of pitching amplitude to match the varying fathering parameter, the foil will operate in different influence of wave orbital velocity range. Because the wave effect (wave orbital velocity) decreases exponentially from the free surface and the most effective height exists in the range of free surface to 80 % of the wave length. Therefore we have kept the heave amplitude as a constant and varied the pitch amplitude to change the feathering parameter. The other parameters that kept constant are, Froude number 0.87, non-dimensional heave amplitude 0.6, wave phase angle −90°, phase difference of heave and pitch 40° and non-dimensional submergence depth 1.71.

Even though previous investigations were carried out with non-dimensional heave amplitude of 1.28, the present computations were done with non-dimensional submergence depth of 1.71. To capture the increment of wave amplitude, we had to increase the size of the non-deformed finer structured mesh around the free surface which leads to a decrease in the space between the foil and free surface mesh (mesh generation is described in Sect. 3). Therefore, to avoid the collision between the foil and free surface mesh, the submergence depth had to be increased up to 1.71. However, a series of computations were performed to check the effect of the new submergence depth of 1.71 on best oscillation parameters obtained by previous computations. Surprisingly, the new submergence did not affect the best values of motion parameters obtained previously as wave phase angle −90°, phase difference of heave and pitch 40°, Froude number 0.8, non-dimensional heave amplitude 0.7 and extended feathering parameter 0.2. But, as we predicted, the thrust and efficiencies were bit lower than the previous submergence at 1.28 cases.
On the other hand, to compare the wave amplitude effect on oscillation foil, a series of simulations were carried out without incoming waves to have a bottom line conditions for wave energy capturing.

7 Conclusions
The work presented is an effort towards a systematic understanding of the influence of various motion parameters on thrust generation from an active type oscillation foil in a wave field. The parameters that have been investigated are phase difference between wave and foil motion ψ, phase difference between heave and pitching motion φ, submergence depth of foil h1/c, non-dimensional frequency of oscillation ω02c/g, heave amplitude h0/c, non-dimensional wave encounter frequency ω0/2πf, Froude number Fr and extended feathering parameter ε.
The result of computational verification and validation for an oscillation foil under a wave has been presented. An unstructured grid based Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes method was used. First, the effects of oscillating foil frequency and wave encounter frequency were investigated. When the hydrofoil oscillates at the wave encounter frequency, the two motions are correlated and give the peaks of both thrust and efficiency. It was also found that small variation in oscillation frequencies considerably affects the efficiency and thrust. The effects of phase angles between heave and pitch motion and between wave and foil motion were also studied. It was found that when the wave has a −90° phase difference with foil heave motion, the efficiency and thrust reached the maximum due to the high utilization of wave orbital velocity. When selecting the phase angle between heave and pitching motion a design trade-off was found between the efficiency and generated thrust. Then without forfeiting the efficiency or thrust, a value of 40° was found appropriate as the phase angle between heave and pitching motion. Finally, it was observed that increasing wave amplitude increases the efficiency of the propulsor and decreases the percentage of wave energy recovery. It can be seen that 18 % of efficiency increment can be achieved, when the ratio of wave amplitude to foil chord length is 3/7. And when the wave amplitude to foil chord length is less than 1/7, more than 70 % wave energy could be recovered as useful propulsion energy.
The overall results suggest that the present approach (active wave oscillation foil in wavy flow) has the possibility to recover the wave energy for marine propulsion. However, analyzing the interaction between an oscillating propulsor and hull, and developing the hull form suitable for oscillating propulsion could be considered as opportunities for further research.

Publisher's weekly seems to have missed a key part of my message during Rebecca's and my backlist tutorial, which is that the long-term term payoff of XML is sufficiently expensive and disruptive that it can't happen quickly for publishers with significantly smaller resources than Thomson's, and that image based solutions like PDF can meet a lot of needs very quickly, for publishers that don't want to postpone full entry into online markets another 2-5 years.
The Adobe announcements (especially integration of new e-book formats into print-oriented production tools) seems to present a more practical way for smaller publishers to change their workflows than the "big-bang" conversion project. But that kind of incremental strategy leaves existing PDF and image backlists just the way they are, and means that PDF will be a key part of all solutions for online marketing and product definition for the foreseeable future.
Sometimes the future's so bright that it can blind you to the present, or tomorrow.
I'll have more to say about Adobe's news, but I can say that I don't think the reader is the interesting part, even if it is a very Flash-ey demo

Exclusive: Computer Weekly publishes 'secret' gateway review
This is the first publication of an entire gateway review by an online news service.
This Article Covers
Risk management
This is the first publication of an entire gateway review by an online news service.
Computer Weekly is publishing it because the Office of Government Commerce, which is part of the Treasury, has argued - incorrectly in our view - that the publication of any gateway review would irreparably damage the process.
From forensic cyber to encryption: InfoSec17
Security technologist Bruce Schneier's insights and warnings around the regulation of IoT security and forensic cyber psychologist Mary Aiken's comments around the tensions between encryption and state security were the top highlights of the keynote presentations at Infosecurity Europe 2017 in London.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
This OGC argument has been rejected by the Information Commissioner and last week in a ruling by the Information Tribunal.
We agree with the Information Tribunal that the OGC has overstated its case against the publication of two early gateway reviews on ID Cards. An OGC witness told the Information Tribunal that to his knowledge no gateway review has ever been disclosed.
The Tribunal said that should any gateway reviews be published "all parties would be in a better position " to assess whether any harm came to the gateway review process.
The Tribunal ordered that two initial gateway reviews on ID Cards should be published.
It said: "Public interest in served by knowing how a project has been implemented and is being implemented."
The gateway review we're publishing is on the Firecontrol project which is run by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
It is described as a £350m nationally-linked network of nine regional control centres across England. It is part of an investment by the Government to give fire and rescue service resources and specialist equipment to help deal with industrial accidents, terrorist threats and weather-related incidents.

Spaceman: A Baseball Odyssey Trailer (2006)
"Even though the game gave him up, he never gave up the game." 26 September 2006 Factual
A documentary about former Major League Baseball player, Bill "The Spaceman" Lee. Lee was the ultimate gonzo player, a brilliant left handed pitcher who defied every manager or front office executive who tried to control him. The fans loved him and so did sportswriters who delighted in asking the usual baseball questions, only to get philosophical responses involving the relationship between existentialism and the curveball or the effects of karma on a pitcher's rotator cuff.

Ronald Koeman accepts that Southampton's ability to keep their key players will dictate whether they can push on next season.
Saints have struggled to keep hold of their big names in recent years, with the likes of Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne (all Liverpool) and Morgan Schneiderlin and Luke Shaw (both Manchester United) leaving over the past two summers.
Victor Wanyama appears to be the most likely target for Premier League predators this year as he enters the final year of his contract but Koeman is hoping all his star players will stick around.
He said: "I don't know (if we will be stronger). It depends whether we can keep everyone for next season.
"(If they stay) then yes, I still believe in developing the team and the individual players, and the players learn from his first Premier League season like Virgil (van Dijk) and (Jordy) Clasie, because that makes the team even stronger.
"Maybe we can sign a very good player and every season we like to have a better team.
"We will not have many changes, but we know the situation. We know we are Southampton, (we would) like to keep everybody in. But still, for a Southampton player, if a big team in the Champions League comes, it is always interesting for the player.

"That is normal and I can understand that.
"I can mention to the club that nobody can leave, but also I don't make the last call in this club – that is the board. Finally it is the board's decision on the players.
"The number of players coming in depends on other circumstances."
Goalkeeper Fraser Forster and midfielder James Ward-Prowse signed new contracts this week, tying them to the south-coast club until 2021 and 2022 respectively.
That came a week after Dutch defender Van Dijk agreed a new deal, and the Saints boss was delighted to see the trio commit.
"(I am) very pleased," Koeman said.
"First of all with the contract of Virgil van Dijk, which happened last week, and now Fraser Forster and Prowsey. Great news and great work from the club.
"We like to keep the players in and keep developing as a club and a team and then you need the good boys to stay and that is what we like and very good for the club."

Learn Her Language
So you'd like to talk to your daughter about growing up but don't know where to start. Consider this. Send her a text like, "I'm not 2BZ4U" (I'm not too busy for you) or "What I want to tell you is 2G2BT" (too good to be true). No, we don't mean you must learn every chat acronym out there, though becoming at least semi-fluent in t-e-x-t won't hurt. We do mean that it helps to speak her language rather than expect her to become versed in yours.

A fearless debut novel about the restorative power of truth and love after the trauma of abuse.
As sixteen-year-old Aidan Donovan's fractured family disintegrates around him, he searches for solace in a few bumps of Adderall, his father's wet bar, and the attentions of his local priest, Father Greg—the only adult who actually listens to him.
When Christmas hits, Aidan's world collapses in a crisis of trust when he recognizes the darkness of Father Greg's affections. He turns to a crew of new friends to help make sense of his life: Josie, the girl he just might love; Sophie, who's a little wild; and Mark, the charismatic swim team captain whose own secret agonies converge with Aidan's.
The Gospel of Winter maps the ways love can be used as a weapon against the innocent—but can also, in the right hands, restore hope and even faith. Brendan Kiely's unflinching and courageous debut novel exposes the damage from the secrets we keep and proves that in truth, there is power. And real love.
"'We live in a world of consequence and effect,' says the 16-year-old narrator of The Gospel of Winter, a book that will be as satisfying to literary readers as it will to young adults. This is a novel that captures the pulse of a contemporary wound, a truth that needs to be told about the shameful issue of abuse within our society. It is also a novel that examines the faultlines of love, family, adolescence, faith and belonging. Brendan Kiely has written a novel that is both unflinching and redemptive." (Colum McCann, NYT Bestselling author and National Book Award winner for Let the Great World Spin)

Unanswered: db_create_file_dest - HELP !!
If we do not specify the db_create_file_dest parameter, by default new DBF files are created in C:\oracle\ora92\database ...
but, when i change the target directory in the parameter to C:\Inc , it still continues to create new files in C:\oracle\ora92\database ...
What do I do to rectify this problem becoz i want to create new files in C:\Inc using the above parameter ????
(Note - I know that we can specify a path at the time of file creation but I wanna see the use of the above parameter) !!

A few things to check...
1. After you set the db_create_file_dest parameter using an ALTER SESSION command, use SHOW PARAMETERS DB_CREATE and see what the new value is. Try copy/pasting the value from there to another command that creates a file, and see if it work.
2. The directory you specify must already exist, Oracle will not create it.
3. On Unix only ... the names are case sensitive. You must set this parameter using the same case as the directory name at the operating system level.
4. You must have operating system permissions on the directory in which you want to create files.
5. If you have access to the on-line Oracle docs, then check out /server.920/a96521/omf.htm
