When turning a sailing boat, the direction relative to the wind is as important as the direction overall.
If the turn is continued, the boat will end up running directly away from the wind, with the sails at around 90º to the hull and acting as simple wind-catchers rather than aerofoils.
Course to Steer - Turn the boat using the wheel or tiller to the desired course to steer.

 Sailing - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Gybing is the turning maneuver in which the boat heads down past the point where the wind crosses the vessel's stern, which causes the sails and boom to swing to the opposite side, before the boat sails off on the opposite tack.
This may be a definite bearing (e.g steer 270 degrees), or towards a landmark, or at a desired angle to the apparent wind direction.
A sailing boat is turned by a rudder which itself is controlled by a tiller or a wheel.

Single turn (270º manoeuvre): Rudder hard over (in an "immediate action" situation, only to the side of the casualty); after deviation from the original course by 250º, rudder to midship position and stopping manoeuvre to be initiated.
Williamson turn: rudder hard over (in an "immediate action" situation, only to the side of the casualty); after deviation from the original course by 60º, rudder hard over to the opposite side; when heading 20º short of opposite course, rudder to midship position and ship to be turned to opposite course.
Scharnow turn (not to be used in an "immediate action" situation.): rudder hard over; after deviation from the original course by 240º, rudder hard over to the opposite side; when heading 20º short of opposite course, rudder to midship position so that ship will turn to opposite course.

 RIBnet Forums - Another sad accident.
The Williamson Turn is a maneuver used to bring a ship or boat back to a point it previously passed through, often for the purpose of recovering a man overboard.
Thnking about this, the Williamson turn was invented for ships where it is feasible a turn could be commenced while the MOB is still 'alongside' part of the ship.
By always turning toward the casualty it becomes a natural reaction, when it happens you won't have time to think in the first second or two so your reaction should be instinctive.

 Navis.gr - Man-overboard Manoeuvres
SCHARNOW TURN cannot be carried out effectively unless the time elapsed between the occurrence of the casualty and the commencement of the manoeuvre is known.
When the ship is on opposite course after carrying out SCHARNOW TURN, the manoeuvre commencement point will be some ship's lengths behind her stern.
Since standard man-overboard manoeuvres are not guaranteed to return a ship into its wake, these turns should be regularly practiced to account for the particular ship characteristics and the effects of environmental conditions on the ship and the person in the water.

On a more personal note, the Williamson turn is an excellent maneuver to use with your garden tractor when mowing a lawn.
Such turns are indeed still used - they are more a boat/shiphandling tool than a search tool.
Now, on a smaller boat, the most common maneuver, or 'turn', if you will, is a 'downswell approach (sorry, I don't have any graphics for it, but someone may throw one out here).

The idea of the modification of the algorithm is to adapt the covariance matrix in a faster way than in the original version by using a larger amount of the information contained in large populations.
The original version of the CMA was designed to reliably adapt the covariance matrix in small populations and turned out to be highly efficient in this case.
The differences among the distributed models themselves are rather small in terms of effort but one of the asynchronous models turns out to be significantly faster.

 Container Handbook - Section 17.2 Cereals
The increase in respiration results not only in the formation of carbon dioxide and moisture but also in increased evolution of heat.
Moisture and heat in turn promote the activity of the respiratory enzymes, which bring about more rapid respiration, as a result of which this increase in cereal respiration may result in self-heating.
The seed cereal may become musty, ferment and turn sour: when moisture levels are excessive, the cereal grains agglomerate and become caked.

Tacking (ir coming about), one of the basic turning techniques, requires heading up and through the wind so it then comes across the opposite side of the boat, and the boat sails away on the opposite ''tack''.
The underwater shape of the hull relative to the sails can be designed to make the boat tend to turn upwind when it heels excessively: this reduces the force on the aails, and allows the boat to right itself.
A sailing boat is turned by a rudder which itself is controlled b a tiller or a wheel.

It then turned out to be a beautiful early summer day and sunny sunday afternoon when I - full with excitement and anticipation and accompanied by some friends - set off for the field on Lima's coast.
The weather was great, the view perfect and so I could not wait to finally "jump down the cliffs", as a friend called it.
Regrettably my time was almost over already so we turned back to the field right next to Parque del Amor in Miraflores, did a last "giro" and my friends took some close-up pictures of us while we glided above their heads.

Thus, all direction changes or turns are described by one of the following terms: Heading up (or luffing up) means steering so the wind is closer to coming from directly in front (or "on the bow").
Heading closer to the wind requires trimming the sails, pulling them towards the vessel's center.
Tacking, one of the basic turning techniques, requires heading up and through the wind so it then comes across the oppposite side of the boat, and the boat sails away on the opposite tack.
