	Parallel turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The turn can only be made if travelling at some speed, since the speed of the skier generates the pressure needed to turn the skis properly as the skier banks into the turn.
		The invention of the Parallel turn in skiing is credited to Austrian Toni Seelos in the 1930s.
		As the turn progresses the two skis remain parallel, and the second ski also starts to run along the inner (little-toe) edge.

	Turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In geometry, a turn is a unit of angular measure equal to 360°.
		In biochemistry, a turn is a U-shaped four residue segment of a protein.
		Generally, a turn can be a change of the direction of a movement or a change in orientation, and it is often also used in a metaphorical sense, contrary to straight.

	Slip (aerodynamic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inexperienced pilots will often enter slips unintentionally during turns by failing to coordinate the aircraft using the rudder; however there are two common situations where a pilot may enter a slip deliberately by using opposite rudder and aileron inputs: the sideslip, and the forward slip.
		Forward slips are rarely used for medium and heavy aircraft, but they are possible — in one famous example, the captain of the Gimli Glider used a forward slip to lose altitude while landing a Boeing 767 after running out of fuel over Manitoba.
		A slip is an aerodynamic state where an aircraft is moving sideways as well as forward relative to the oncoming wind.

	Slip-turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A slip-turn is a manoeuvre in which an aircraft turns using only the rudder.

	Turn-On - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Turn-On was an American 1969 television series notable for having been cancelled by its network before the first episode finished airing.
		Turn-On has been consistently called one of the most notorious flops in television.
		Some claim that the show was cancelled because it was too extreme for America's tastes at the time -- the only episode aired featured rapid fire gags with sexual innuendos that turned people off instead of turning them on.

	Mohawk turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mohawk turns are essentially executed with crossed feet, and this is reflected in the tracings.
		In this turn, skater faces into the circle and the free foot is brought to the instep of the skating foot at an angle of 90° or more, before being placed on the ice on a backward inside edge during the transfer of weight.
		Along with the 3 turn, this is the most common way for skaters to change direction while skating, and is one of the first turns learned by beginning skaters.

	Hook turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Primarily, the hook turn allows both the clear passage of trams (which are common in Melbourne) and alleviates right-turning drivers from having to wait or check that there are no trams crossing the driver's path.
		Hook turns are, in reality, one of the easiest right turns to execute, as the drivers do not have to judge a gap between cars coming the other direction.
		The hook turn allows motorists to wait on the left side of the road for opposing traffic, as well as continuing traffic, to stop at the traffic signal before turning through the intersection.

	Handbrake turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The handbrake turn is a driving technique used to deliberately slide a car sideways, either for the purpose of negotiating a very tight bend quickly, or for turning around well within the vehicle's own turning circle.
		It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with bootleg turn.
		Immediately after starting the turn, pull the handbrake with the other hand

	Snowplough turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The snowplough turn (also known as the wedge turn or stem turn) is a development of the stem technique, where the uphill ski is stemmed or pushing out from being parallel with the downhill ski to form a V shape.
		Since the sense of a ski being "uphill" or "downhill" changes over the course of a turn, it leads to some confusion, with different instructors using the terms to mean either the position of the ski at the start of the turn, or at the end of the turn.
		However, when executing a "stem turn" the skier's weight is shifted to the uphill ski and the downhill ski is rotated to become parallel with the uphill ski.

	Encyclopedia: Turn coordinator
		The turn coordinator was developed to replace the older turn and bank indicator, which displayed rate and quality of turn but not rate of roll.
		The turn coordinator is an aircraft instrument which displays to a pilot information about his rate of turn, rate of roll, and the 'quality' or 'coordination' of the turn.
		The turn coordinator differs from the older turn and bank indicator in that the turn coordinator has the gyro mounted at a 30-degree tilt.

	Hairpin turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Highways with hairpin turns allow easier, safer ascents and descents of mountainous terrain than a direct, steep climb and descent, at the price of greater distances of travel.
		A nearly 180-degree turn in a road, trail, or ramp is called a hairpin turn (also hairpin bend or, if in a trail, a switchback).
		These turns are often built when a route climbs up or down a steep slope, so that it can travel mostly across the slope with only moderate steepness, and are often arrayed in a zigzag pattern.

	Scharnow turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Scharnow 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.
		The Scharnow Turn is most appropriate when the point to be reached is significantly further astern than the vessel's turning radius.
		For other situations, an Anderson turn or a Williamson turn might be more appropriate.

	Gyroscopic Systems and Instruments
		In a slip, the rate of turn is too slow for the angle of bank, and the lack of centrifugal force causes the ball to be displaced to the inside of the turn.
		In a skid the rate of turn is too fast for the angle of bank, and excessive centrifugal force causes the ball to be displaced to the outside of the turn.
		In coordinated flight, the needle may be used to measure the rate of turn; in a "standard rate turn", the needle is aligned with the left or right marker (dog-house) and the aircraft will turn at the rate of 3° per second or 180° in one minute.

	Turn on, tune in, drop out - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Turn on, tune in, drop out is also the title of a book (ISBN: 1579510094) of essays by Timothy Leary, covering topics ranging from religion, education and politics to Aldous Huxley, neurology and psychedelic drugs.
		"Turn on, tune in, drop out" is a counterculture phrase coined by Timothy Leary in the 1960s.
		These ancient goals we define in the metaphor of the present—turn on, tune in, drop out."

	20th WCP:
		Accordingly the Linguistic Turn is taken to have ended into a Cognitive Turn understood as a restoration of the primacy of philosophical psychology over the philosophical study of language, a restoration echoing the Cognitive Revolution which took place in the corresponding scientific fields.
		According to this received view Analytical Philosophy is born out of a Linguistic Turn establishing the study of language as the foundation of the discipline; this primacy of language is then overthrown by the return of the study of mind as philosophia prima through a second Cognitive Turn taken in the mid-sixties.
		In the wake of the initial Linguistic Turn the concept of mental intentionality is first supposed to have been in large part reduced to that of linguistic reference (the aboutness of linguistic units), thereby becoming at worst a superfluous notion, at best a derivative and secondary one.

	Michigan left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Michigan left, sometimes known as a Michigan left turn or a Superstreet, is an automobile traffic maneuver in which a U-turn and a right turn replace a prohibited left turn.
		When left turns in the intersection are prohibited, drivers on major roads that cross the highway are instead directed to turn right.
		Michigan lefts occur at intersections where at least one road is a divided boulevard or highway.

		However, when executing a "stem turn" the skier's weight is shifted to the uphill ski and the downhill ski is rotated to become parallel with the uphill ski.
		Having brought the skis into the V shape mentioned above, more pressure is applied to one of the skis, so causing the skis to turn (to the left if applied to the right ski, or to the right if applied to the left.)

	Descriptive geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These sequential projections each represent a circuitous, 90° turn in space in order to view the object from a different direction.
		Descriptive geometry builds on a practice, evolved over centuries, of displaying two images of an object, one as seen in one direction and a second image as seen from a direction 90° rotated (e.g., a "front" and a "side" view).
		Descriptive geometry uses the image-creating technique of imaginary, parallel projectors emanating from an imaginary object and intersecting an imaginary plane of projection at right angles.

	An Introduction to Bicycle Geometry and Handling.
		For a given turn radius (determined by the handlebar angle) and velocity, there is a single lean angle where the bicycle frame is parallel to the direction of the force exerted by the rider's body.
		Leaning the bike causes the fork to turn in that direction, because the frame is lower after the fork has turned.
		As the bicycle turns, the steering axis is pulled to the side, and the rest of the frame will twist on the rear wheel's contact patch.

	Steering Geometry and Caster Measurement
		During the turn procedure, the camber sensor is tilted to the front or rear, and the angle it measures is altered by the cosine of the tilt angle.
		During the caster turn procedure, the alignment technician is required to steer to somewhat precise toe angles and cause the alignment instrument to record the camber and toe angles.
		A common method is to turn the wheels to the correct angle by watching the gauges of the turnplates on which the wheels rest, then actuate a switch to record the camber measurements.

	CONK! Encyclopedia: Sailing
		A sailing boat is turned by a rudder which itself is controlled by a tiller or a wheel.
		If the turn is continued through the no-go zone and out the other side, the boat is said to have tacked.
		If the turn is continued such that the boat's stern passes through the wind, a gybe results.

	Snowplough.html
		The snowplough turn (or wedge turn in North America) is the most straightforward of all turns.
		Snowplough turns, however, are not a blind alley leading off the road to good parallel turns: they are a valuable step along the way.
		As you turn, the pressure you apply through your feet must move to your outside ski, just as the back seat passengers in a car are pushed against the door in a tight curve.

	Turn-based game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, when a particular player gains access to the game during his/her turn it is not uncommon to value the time taken by the player to make the move to improve the fairness of the game.
		Once every player has taken his turn, that round of play is over, and any special shared processing, is done.
		A turn-based game, also known as turn-based strategy, is a game where the game flow is partitioned in well-defined and visible parts, called turns or rounds.
