Nevertheless, this position shows up in the Syllabus starting at Silver. The Man and the Lady face each other, but with the Lady on the Man's left side, while the hips stay parallel. It is also called Left to Left because the Man's left side and the Lady's left side are in contact. Steps in this position are generally taken in Outside Partner on the Left.
To achieve this position, the Man will lead the Lady to slide her hips around the him until she reaches his left side. This is probably the second position you learnt, after Closed Position. Because of the opening and the offset, the Lady will be slightly behind the Man. To achieve this position, the Man will lead the Lady to roll her hips around his, or he may roll his own hips to the left, depending on the figure.
This positioning of the hips encompases another position - Fallaway Position. Fallaway is just Promenade that moves backward, but the positioning of the bodies is exactly the same. Of all the positions, this position is used the least, because it is difficult to execute and can easily distort the topline. Because of the opening and the offset, the Lady will be slightly in front of the Man, and rolled into the crease of his left hip. This position would be exactly the same as Promenade Position if the Man and Lady were to switch roles.
To achieve this position, the Man will lead the Lady to roll her hips away from him, or he may roll his own hips around her, depending on the figure. This positioning of the hips encompasses another position - Counter Fallaway Position. Counter Fallaway is just Counter Promenade that moves backward, but the positioning of the bodies is exactly the same.
This position is named after the popular figure that makes use of it, and it isn't found at all in the Syllabus.
The Lady's hips are not parallel, but perpendicular to the Man's, with her facing the Man's left side. Her hips sit on the Man's right side, in the crease of his right hip.
To achieve this position, the Man will slip his hips beyond the Lady's, while leading her to turn to her right. This position is also named after the popular figure that makes use of it, and it is also not found in the Syllabus. The Lady's hips are again perpendicular to the Man's, but with her facing the Man's right side. Her hips sit on the Man's left side, in the crease of his left hip. To achieve this position, the Man will lead the Lady to his left side and to turn to her left.
There are from time to time other extreme positions advanced dancers will use, but these six are the fundamentals.
Adriaan is a certified watchmaker and does all the final checks of every watch himself. When you buy an Eza, you will get a small receipt inside the authentic packaging that shows the exact deviations in seconds per day. When you wear a watch that runs on a mechanical movement, the watch will switch from many different positions during the day.
The balance wheel is the part that regulates the precision of the watch. If the balance wheel of an EZA makes exactly vibrations per hour, the watch will run exactly on time.
Written with a poet's sense of language and the quirky voice of an outsider among outsiders, Six Positions takes the reader on a frank and entertaining. Six Positions - Kindle edition by Andy Quan.

The centre of gravity in the balance wheel is never perfectly in the middle. When you hold your watch vertically crow down, up, left or right , the balance wheel will vibrate on the two pivots. In this poristion, the friction will be higher. When a movement runs correctly, the amplitude of the balance wheel will be higher in a horizontal position then in a vertical position.
Besides this, the centre of gravity, which is never exactly in the middle, will start to disturb the vibrations of the balance wheel when the watch is in a vertical position. When the centre of gravity is, for example, off the middle to the right of the balance wheel. During the first 90 degrees, the point of gravity accelerates the turn. When it passes the lowest point, the point of gravity starts to de-accelerate the balance wheel.
If the amplitude of the watch is degrees, the point of gravity accelerates the balance one third of the way and de-accelerates it two third of the way. This is is disadvantageous for the precision of the movement. By measuring the amplitudes in different positions, the watchmaker can calculate where the point of gravity is. By removing some material form the balance wheel at this point, or adding material on the opposite side, the watchmaker can reduce the off centre point of gravity.
Preview — Six Positions by Andy Quan. As a leading engineering expert you are willing to support and push the grade of automation in building, deploying and monitoring all environments of our high availability environment. Of all the positions, this position is used the least, because it is difficult to execute and can easily distort the topline. There are from time to time other extreme positions advanced dancers will use, but these six are the fundamentals. Thanks for telling us about the problem.
