The superior oblique is one of the two noteworthy oblique extraocular muscles. These muscles are unique in that they do not originate from the common tendinous ring, have an angular attachment to the eyeball, and they attach to the posterior aspect of the eyeball. The superior oblique functions explicitly to move the eye in the down-and-out position and intort the eye.

CONT

... minority stress encompasses the excess pressure that people from stigmatized social categories are exposed to as a result of their minority position.... The concept of minority stress rests on three underlying assumptions. First it is unique, meaning that those in stigmatized groups have the added burden of dealing with stress over and above the stress that is experienced by others. Second, it is chronic, in that it is related to largely immobile social and cultural structures. Third, it is socially based, stemming from societal elements and institutional systems beyond the individual.

OBS

Minority stress is both additive and intersectional. In other words, individuals who are members of multiple minority groups often experience greater minority stress than those individuals who are only members of one minority group. In addition, people with intersectional identities may experience stressors unique to those identities.

Like poverty tourism to the favelas in Brazil, philanthropic tourism to villages in Africa, or even aid tourism to far-flung volunteer missions, disaster tourism raises uncomfortable questions about power and inequality. Tourists are in a unique position of privilege. They have the power, money and freedom to visit — then leave — a disaster zone, while locals act as objects of human tragedy, selling their misery to help rebuild their communities.

To reduce pilot workload still further, Eurofighter Typhoon has a unique Voice Throttle And Stick(VTAS) system. This system allows the pilot to keep his Hands on Throttle and Stick(HOTAS) and operate the majority of the aircraft's controls from this position. Other commands can be give through Direct Voice Input(DVI). Due to the drastically reduced workload pilots are able to focus on the mission and systems operation. In an air battle scenario, the VTAS system even allows the lead pilot to assign targets to himself with two simple voice commands or to any of his wingmen with only five commands.

CONT

Une fonction jusqu'alors inédite sur un avion de combat, et qui a permis à ses concepteurs d'introduire la notion nouvelle de VTAS, pour Voice, Throttle and Stick (voix, manche et manettes). Ici aussi, la mission première du système est de soulager le pilote de tâches répétitives et non critiques : gestion de l'affichage, des communications, ou encore de la situation tactique globale. Le pilote peut ainsi désigner, assigner ou filtrer les pistes qui lui sont présentées sur son écran multifonctions, allégeant d'autant sa charge de travail dans une situation critique. Dans un proche avenir, une version améliorée de ce système initial devrait être déclarée opérationnelle; elle permettra notamment de contrôler la nacelle de désignation laser de l'avion et d'affiner la navigation en créant des points de passage «à la volée».

The OECD Tourism Committee is in a unique position to serve as an international forum for co-ordinating policies and actions. The OECD is the only global forum for discussions of tourism policies among industrialised countries. Once a year, the OECD brings together senior policy makers in the tourism area to discuss major industry developments, takes action when required, assembles material on policies and contributes to the work of other parts of the OECD. The OECD Tourism Committee also co-operates with the World Tourism Organisation, the European Union and the International Labour Organisation. It engages in dialogue with non-member countries, and provides a forum for discussion with industry, academia and other groups through consultation and seminars.

Another process somewhat related to extrusion blow molding is the extrusion/molded neck process. Still used today by Owens-Illinois, this is a proprietary process that traces its roots to glass-blowing technology. It is unique in that the bottle neck finish is injection molded and the bottle body is extrusion blow-molded. In this process, the two halves of a neck finish cavity or neckring are mounted to an actuating head assembly, which intermeshes with the two halves of the blow-mold cavity. The process cycle begins with the main body mold cavity open and the neckring cavity closed. The actuating head assembly moves downward to contact the extrusion die head. When it is in position, extrusion pressure fills the neck section with plastic melt. After it is held for one to two seconds, the head assembly moves upward while, simultaneously, the parison is extruded. When the head assembly reaches the top of its stroke, the blow-mold cavity closes on the parison. The remaining steps of parison pinch-off, blowing, and part removal all follow conventional techniques. Although the production cycle is somewhat slow, the process offers the quality advantage of an accurately molded neck and the process advantage of a parison held at both ends.
