I walked into Avant Garden and had the pleasure of sitting down with the owner himself, Ravi DeRossi. His name might seem familiar as he has become synonymous with trendy New York bars including Death and Co. and Amor Y Armargo on 6th Street. Avant Garden, a vegan restaurant that features only vegetables, is a jewel that he has added to his lengthy list of other establishments. Upon entering, the design was what captured my attention first. Every aspect is painstakingly selected by Ravi himself and this is hardly surprising given his background as a painter. He told me that he studied under his friend and mentor Igor Gorsky, an influential Greek painter in the abstract expressionist movement. Now, Ravi says, "opening bars and restaurants is my canvas. "When I asked what was the recipe for his success, he said it was a lot of "dumb luck" and that he is "naturally suited to working a lot. " In fact, he quoted Thomas Edison saying that it is "10% inspiration, 90% perspiration, " and that his hard work has certainly gone a long way. Ravi opened his first business, Bourgeois Pig on East 7th Street (now on Macdougal), out of necessity. He was not making enough money as a painter to support himself. "I didn't know how to do anything but paint and write, " he said, and he loved to drink, so opening a wine bar seemed like a perfect plan. His idea was to use money from Bourgeois Pig to live off of and to paint in his free time. However, he found that it was "so much fun" running a wine bar that he kept on going. As for his other restaurants and bars, he told me, "I'll be sleeping and something will come to my mind. " These late-night inspirations have resulted in fifteen different places throughout New York and Brooklyn, as well as plans to open an Avant Garden in Los Angeles. The idea for a vegan restaurant has long been in the back of Ravi's mind, inspired by a trip to a Buddhist Temple in India and his own on and off vegan lifestyle. In addition to opening Avant Garden, Ravi, a self-described "big animal rights guy, " has jointly launched a non-profit called BEAST, which stands for Benefits to End Animal Suffering Today. Ravi only does things that he wants to do. His passion shines through every single detail of his restaurant, and he even went as far as saying that this is the place of which he is most proud. He is pleased with the fact that it is 100% cruelty free, "except to these guys, " he said gesturing to the staff busily preparing the restaurant for that evening's diners. They all laughed. This is a place of great camaraderie, where there are none of the fake meats that are found at most vegan food spots, and the atmosphere is chic and warmly lit. When I was there, in the fall of 2015, the restaurant had only been open for about a month, and already Avant Garden had a crew of loyal followers, a testament to the menu. Its menu was created by Andrew D'Ambrosi, who moved to France after being Avant Garden's head chef during the restaurant's first few years. Ravi explained that he had originally found Andrew on Craigslist and hired him to work at his restaurant, Cienfuegos. When the itch came to open up a new place, Bergen Hill, in Brooklyn, Ravi began the search for a head chef. They used Andrew's kitchen at Cienfuegos to test out the world-renowned chefs who wished to head the restaurant. Ravi shared with me that Andrew came to him and requested, "'Before you hire [anyone] let me make a tasting for you'... He blew thirty chefs out of the water. " Andrew spent two years making vegan dishes at Bergen Hill and testing them as specials. "Each of his dishes is great, " Ravi proclaimed, adding "When I am at home, I dream of the Tomato Jam Toast. "
"I'm not a chef. I am a scholar of nutrition and an idealist who loves health and happiness, " proclaimed Angel Moreno, who left his home in Spain in the 1980s to embark on a voyage of self-discovery and to set up a chiringuito — the Spanish term for a cafe or juice kiosk — in the U. S. Before finding what he calls his "true purpose, " Angel was a pilot. "But this was killing my heart, " Angel said. He reevaluated his life and chose to pursue his aptitude for music. Though untrained, Angel had a good ear, a passion for playing the drums, and a desire to share music, poetry readings, and photography exhibits with the public. He came to open a handful of cafes and bars throughout Spain that were akin to laidback performance venues. Just as Angel planned to start a new venture in London, he met a master of Sufi (a form of Islamic mysticism). "This man was doing everything I wanted to do: yoga, traveling, and music. He was a fun guy. " The guru made such a powerful impression that Angel followed him to the States, where he spent the next decade doing odd jobs, learning to practice Sufism, and waiting for the right time to start his chiringuito. As Angel puts it, the universe eventually led him to the ideal place. It had two rooms — one that would serve as the dining area and a second space that was used to educate others about nutrition, health, and assorted important subjects. At first, "I didn't even know what kind of cuisine I was going to offer. " But the teachings of Sufi, which focus on purity and wellness, inspired him to avoid anchoring himself to any specific type of cuisine. "Instead, I did international dishes and used my knowledge to adjust any recipe to incorporate organic ingredients and to be vegan or vegetarian. "Caravan of Dreams retains some of the elements of Angel's first Spanish cafes, with daily live music and bright colors on the walls to spark joy in its guests. Yet the key component is the wholesome meals it serves. "Without health, we cannot be happy. "
At Ladybird, vegetables take center stage. According to Devante Melton, marketing director of DeRossi Global, Ladybird's parent company, "Instead of creating meat substitutes or serving dishes that propel that same kind of addiction to meat, we decided to create a vegetable bar that would be a sexy alternative without any of that pretense or exclusivity, " Since 2016, Ravi DeRossi has been on a mission to turn his restaurants vegan - and change the way we think about meat. "New Yorkers are very, very dedicated to meat as a necessity, " says Devante. "We go day-to-day in this kind of routine without actually understanding our food systems - what's available, what's produced locally. In doing so, we condition ourselves to believe that these things are necessary, but we don't feel any need to lower our carbon footprint or create any environmental changes for us as a people. One way to do that is to go vegan. "Ladybird's aesthetic is a cross between one's rich great-aunt's living room and a trendy bar. Gold-framed mirrors adorn the marble-patterned walls, while plants dangle from the ceiling. Customers sit in green velvet booths or at the mirrored bar and drink wine-based cocktails served in crystal punch bowls. The food evokes the same sort of airy opulence as the décor. Manhattan Sideways sat down to sample a variety of items from the menu: Beginning with The Reunion Ibis cocktail - In keeping with the bar's theme, the drinks are named after birds - followed by some of the restaurants most favorite dishes: Three types of toast (avocado, cauliflower, and mushroom and onion), kale salad, baby corn, and melt-in-your-mouth fried eggplant. The star of the show was a beet and avocado ceviche, a dish that made us wonder why anyone ever bothered making ceviche with fish. That is, in the end, the goal: to engineer a new sort of culinary literacy, where one's taste buds are far too occupied to even consider missing meat.
I have been a vegetarian for decades now, and I always welcome new information from those far more knowledgeable on the subject than I. Live Live has been my greatest discovery. In addition to being incredibly well versed on everything healthy, they are absolutely delightful to engage in conversation. Since 2002, Live Live has been "specializing in raw, organic, live and vegetarian health products. " They have a large selection of books, and the natural products that they provide for the face and body all smell and feel great, as their philosophy is "put things on your skin only if you can eat it. " From nuts, to dried fruits, to chips and chocolate, I have tried so many different raw snack foods that I have not had before and each one has been exceptional. Live Live is constantly looking for ways to improve lives as they travel all over the world to find the best items to stock their shelves. In addition, they have nutritional consultations, detoxification and fasting programs.
Confectionery is the brainchild of two passionate vegan chefs who owned separate bakeries in New Paltz, NY. Lagusta Yearwood began Lagusta's Luscious as a boutique vegan chocolate shop, and Maresa Volante's Sweet Mresa specialized in macarons. They met, found that they shared a passion for sweets and vegan cooking, and Confectionery was born! Nowadays, the East Village shop serves a wide clientele, from random passersby following the sweet aromas to the front door, to avid cult fans in the city on vacation, and, of course, to those who either prefer or require a vegan diet. Confectionery is a space of inclusivity and giving, as evidenced by the prominent "Mitzvah Wall" that greeted me when I entered. The idea is to pay it forward: buy a cookie and put a note on the wall for someone to reward. When speaking with the counter server, a young woman who had been a fan of Lagusta's Luscious for many years before working at Confectionery, she told me that she finds peace and comfort in the shop. "It's a nice, welcoming space where we can heal ourselves. "
"The Two Faces of Italian Food" is the tagline at this restaurant and wine bar. The perfect blend they are referring to is tradition and innovation. The menu boasts homemade and traditional options - the wine list is not limited to Italian varieties, though the beer is. We stopped in briefly and relaxed with a glass of wine in their quiet back garden and spoke with one of the restaurant's partners as waiters set up for that evening's meal. When we asked him to describe the food that Giano served in a short sentence he told us humbly: "Italian food. No big deal. " Can't wait to try it!
Most business owners know how difficult it is to bounce back after being robbed. Makoto Wantanabe has done it twice and, ironically, has a thief to thank for the very birth of Tokio 7. Makoto was globetrotting in the early 1990s when he arrived in Southern California on what was supposed to be the penultimate stop on his tour. He befriended a homeless man and let him stay in his hotel room for the night, but Makoto awoke to find everything except for his passport was stolen. Stranded with no money and far from his home in the Japanese countryside, Makoto called one of his only contacts in the U. S., who worked at a Japanese restaurant in Manhattan. He scrounged up enough money for a bus ticket and was off. While in New York, Makoto felt that men's clothing suffered from a lack of style. Having always had a knack for fashion, he knew he could change that but lacked the funds to open a store with brand new clothing. So, after several years of saving his wages as a waiter, he founded one of the first consignment shops in New York City. Tokio 7 now carries men's and women's clothes, with the overarching theme being, as Makoto says, that they are simply "cool. " The clothes are mostly from Japanese designers and name brands with unique twists. In the store, clothing that has been donated with a lot of wear is labeled "well loved. "Despite its importance in the community, the shop fell on tough times during the COVID-19 pandemic. To make matters worse, Tokio 7 was looted in the summer of 2020 and had 300 items stolen. When Makoto contemplated closing his doors permanently, longtime customers begged him to reconsider. Resilient as ever, he set up a small photography area in the back of the shop and sold a portion of his clothes online to compensate for the decline of in-person purchases. Reflecting on his journey, Makoto marveled at the whims of fate. Had he not been robbed all of those decades ago in California, he had planned to start a life in the Amazon rainforest
This small, old-world neighborhood barbershop is loaded with personality. Everything about Barbiere is unique: the whimsical wrought-iron gate out front, the retro hair and shaving products along the walls, and the high-quality, old-fashioned service. When we poked our heads in to chat with the barbers and their clients—all seated in vintage leather chairs—they were proud to tell us that James Franco is among the celebrities that drop by for a haircut or a classic shave.

By Jeff Murphy, October 5, 2017
WARRENSBURG, MO – Working with the military to address a need for well-trained technology professionals and citizen soldiers, the University of Central Missouri and the Missouri National Guard have signed a joint agreement that includes collaboration on cybersecurity curriculum, officer education, and development of future cyber technicians.The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed Oct. 2 by UCM President Charles Ambrose and Major General Stephen L. Danner, the adjutant general of the Missouri National Guard. Both leaders, along with other representatives of UCM and the Guard, announced this initiative at The Missouri Innovation Campus (MIC) inLee's Summit, the new home for UCM's educational offerings in the Kansas City metropolitan area."This is an opportunity to formalize some work that we've been talking about as mission critical in the state of Missouri for some time," Ambrose said. "There was a lot of effort made in the spring to really put purpose to an MOU that will allow us to demonstrate not only to the region, but to the state, that our work together can cause some great things to happen."A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed Oct. 2 by University of Central Missouri President Charles Ambrose, left, and Major General Stephen L. Danner, the adjutant general of the Missouri National Guard, calling for joint collaboration on cybersecurity curriculum, officer education, development of future cyber technicians, and a cyber hub at The Missouri Innovation Campus in Lee's Summit.The MOU allows the university to cooperate with the Missouri National Guard to establish a future cyber hub at The MIC, taking advantage of technological resources that currently make possible the delivery of UCM's undergraduate and graduate degrees in cybersecurity, and technology resources available at the MIC building. This facility opened this fall, and is a joint initiative of UCM and the Lee's Summit R-7 School District. It places high school and college students under one roof, and has a focus that includes accelerating the time to degree completion, providing experiential learning in cooperation with Kansas City corporations, and graduating students with little or no debt.Consistent with such goals, the MOU also provides opportunities for collaboration on the recruitment of current and future Guard members through the promotion of accelerated degree pathways that will reduce the time to complete a degree and the cost of a college education; the review of civilian cyber education opportunities to include military training and experiences that could be applied to meeting UCM cybersecurity degree requirements; and opportunities to provide an education with no out-of-pocket cost to Guardsmen. It also provides an opportunity for UCM and the Guard to collaborate on recruitment and development of high school students into "cyber warriors" by means of the dual credit programs through either the Innovation Track or Missouri Innovation Campus accelerated degree pathways. Danner said the opportunities that are made possible through the MOU benefit Guard members both in their military service and in their work in businesses and other professions outside of their military service. About90 percent of the men and women who serve in the Missouri National Guard also have full-time civilian jobs.He said he is pleased to sign the MOU with UCM "because it enhances the Missouri National Guard's cyber capabilities in many ways. First of all, it will allow our citizen soldiers to work with UCM in order to further their cyber education and degrees as we work together to better our soldiers, not only their understanding and learning, but to assist them both in their civilian careers and in their military careers.""I think it is a great thing for the university too," Danner added, "I believe the Missouri National Guard citizen soldiers – both air and army – bring a lot with them in a student body atmosphere and also enhance the university's ability to present the kind of programs that are necessary for the future in cyber technology, particularly the kind of cyber that has a military piece to it."Danner praised the university's willingness to help decrease education costs by waiving additional program or admission fees that are not covered by the GI Bill or other federal and state assistance for military members. As a result, Guard members will no longer have to worry about whether or not they can afford a college education.Following the MOU signing, participants in the event were provided a tour of the MIC facilities by two students who are currently enrolled in The MIC program. This was followed by a cybersecurity presentation by Anshuman Singh, assistant professor of computer science and coordinator of the academic cybersecurity program at UCM. Singh said the Missouri National Guard has an important role in protecting the state's infrastructure and assets, and earning a degree from UCM will make the men and women who serve in the Guard better prepared to help protect Missouri's cyber infrastructure. He stressed that having a facility such as The MIC is important in meeting this goal, not only for the benefit of the Missouri National Guard but in serving similar needs among businesses in the Kansas City area."This is a game changer. It helps us get to the next level," he said in talking about The MIC. "We are very equipped in Warrensburg, but having a facility of this kind in Lee's Summit helps us connect to businesses as well as provide training to people who are working so that they can better apply their skills in their job. So, this helps us to reach a much wider audience."

Closing and selling are two different things, and often, good sellers are bad at closing. What are the 10 steps to closing a sale that increases the chances of creating a regular happy customer?
Here I have discussed all steps in detail that will help you close the sale successfully and leave a positive effect on the customer.
Let us start!
What are the 10 steps to Closing a Sale?
Follow these 10 steps to closing a sale and making your work experience better.
1. Question about Sale
Once you have presented all the qualities, benefits, and specifications of the product and think nothing has been left, move towards closing the sale to deal with other things.
Our primary purpose of explaining things to the customer is that he can ask him for a sale. So you can use any sentence like 'hope so now you do not have any question, I think we should move towards paperwork."
This is the best, most straightforward, shortest sentence you can use for convincing him to buy the product without further question.
2. Deal Selling and Closing Differently
Selling is an easier task than closing because, during selling, you have to give a brief presentation on the product and explain everything. However, in closing, you are about to move towards an agreement.
Most of the salesmen are very good at selling; however, they lose confidence and the customers when it comes to closing. You should practice how to close a sale effectively from these 10 steps to closing a sale.
Once you have presented the product well, be bold and have faith in the customer and yourself. This trick will help you in closing effectively and practice a lot of how to be confident during closing.
3. Ask Early
While presenting, keep an eye on the customers' gestures, and if you think you have convinced him to stop the presentation, ask him if he is ready to buy this item.
If his answer is positive, do not say anything about the product because he will feel bore. However, if he has some problem, keep presenting the specifications of your product and try your best to convince him.
These tricks help know where your customer stands and what strategy you should use for convincing him for sale.
4. Get Ready for Objections
All customers are not satisfied at once. Some of them take a long time and raise different questions, so always be prepared for such objections. These queries depict that you are successful in developing the client's interest in your product. Try your best to answer all objections in positive ways.
Furthermore, gather all information about the product so you can answer all the objections and satisfy your client.
Similarly, before moving to close, all the things you think the client can ask, answer them beforehand. So you can move towards ending effectively.
5. Say Give it a Try
You are trying your best, but still, the client is not willing to buy the product, and he has some doubts about it in his mind. Maybe he has some financial issues, and he is looking for something less expensive.
Then for giving him a sudden and robust push, you say give it a try and take it with you to home. This sentence has been seen to act on most people's psyche, and then people do not think even for a few minutes.
They take the product and go. But make sure you are using this sentence at the right time and the client is interested in your product as some came to the store only for window shopping.
6. Give Flexible Budget
It is the responsibility of management to introduce different types of payment methods so customers do not neglect your product due to budget. It is the most important part of the 10 steps to closing a sale.
For example, you can introduce a monthly payment plan. Similarly, you can show them the smaller package of the same product or the same product of a different company.
If nothing is possible, then show them another product having almost exact specifications but less price. This will make you, the customer feel comfortable and build his trust in you.
7. I do not have Enough Budget
Even if you have provided them different payment methods, so they feel easy and buy the product. However, they are still not buying the project and avoiding your offer by saying I do not have enough budget.
They are actually using this sentence to avoid your product, and it means that they do not like your product, and you have failed in convincing them to purchase the product.
You still have a chance and revise all things, but this time in a better manner and give your 100 % best and make sure you do not miss anything while presenting the product.
8. Try the Different Closing Technique
All human beings are different, and they perceive things differently. Thus you cannot use the same technique for all customers as some customers buy things just after a little explanation.
However, some customers ask men questions, and they need more time for satisfaction. For both types of customers, you need to choose different strategies.
Go to google and search for different techniques. Write them on a note and practice all techniques in front of your fellows and virtual customers. Similarly, look at the closing process used by your fellow salespersons. It is the most effective step from 10 steps to closing a sale successfully.
9. Be Persistent
It is commonly observed that salespeople lose hope and think that the customer will not buy the product after 2-3 questions, which is their biggest fault.
Whenever you think that customer is leaving, try one more time and keep trying to convince him. In short, you have to be persistent if you want happy closing.
Do not give up even if a person leaves the store; keep trying by sending emails and messages if your company permits you. Eventually, that person will become your happy regular customer.
10. Be Positive
If you lose the client, do not lose hope and never underestimate yourself and start thinking negatively about your qualities. Commonly, you will lose customers.
When you start a salesperson's job, its ratio is higher, but with time, their number decreases, and the number of convinced customers increases.
Even if you become an expert salesperson, you will still lose some clients, so never be negative. Stay positive.
Continuously assess and try to understand the possible reason due to which the buyer has not purchased your product, then work on your weak area, and with time, you will see improvement.
Final Words
All in all, try to be persistent and confident while closing. Furthermore, try to make a customer-friendly environment and give different Opportunities, so he does not have to worry about its budget.
Do not rely on one technique; instead, practice different techniques and use the most suitable one for each customer. Keep an eye on his gestures, and if there is a need to present things again, do it immediately.

It seems the door to Mike Tyson fighting in the UFC isn't completely closed.
During our interview with Mike Tyson, he indicated he'd like to make a new boxing game with Tyson Ranch branding, which sounds like a plan to us.
In a recent interview, former boxing champion and celebrity Mike Tyson shared his thoughts on the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, along with some words of encouragement.
Shacknews caught up with Mike Tyson earlier this week to chat about a whole wide range of topics, but the Champ had some choice words for people hoarding supplies like toilet paper.
Iron Mike could kick your butt in a real ring, but even he's afraid of facing off against himself in The Dream Bout in this classic NES game.
Decades in the making, Shacknews finally sat down with Iron Mike Tyson to talk about charity, criminal justice reform, addiction, boxing, video games, esports, and marijuana.

The 'Cinema' mode is specially designed to shoot videos at 24 fps in 21:9 cinematic format and has the capability of going beyond 60 fps. Moreover, the smartphone OZO spatial audio and wind noise cancellation for videos.
Along with the smartphone, the box contains a charger of 18W. Although the battery capacity of the Nokia 5.4 is the same as the Nokia 5.3 and lacks a fast charging feature, Nokia claims that the phone can run up to 2 days.
Once again, it seems like Nokia is banking on build quality and regular software updates as at this price segment it will go up against the likes of Realme Narzo 20 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Pro and others.
This time again, Nokia, as it seems, has banked on build quality and regular software updates as the price at which Nokia 5.4 is made available is sure to give competition to the trending smartphone models including Realme Narzo 20 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Pro to mention few.

Canadian and US officials believe Iranian military forces, possibly by mistake, shot down the Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800 that crashed outside Tehran on 8 January, killing 176 people.
"The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile," Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau tells reporters on 9 January.
Canada reached that conclusion, which Iran has denied, after reviewing "intelligence from multiple sources, including our allies and our own intelligence."
The crash of Ukraine flight PS752 came in the tense hours after Iran launched missile strikes against US-occupied bases in Iraq, a response to the US military's killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani.
Trudeau adds that Iran's actions may have been "unintentional" or "accidental", but stresses that officials remain uncertain about circumstances surrounding the alleged missile strike.
Canada's assessment aligns with that of US officials, who told news outlets on 9 January that a surface-to-air missile downed the 737. US officials said heat signatures from two surface-to-air missiles had been detected immediately prior to an explosion near where the aircraft was flying, according to reports.
Trudeau says the conclusion that Iranian military forces downed the aircraft "reconfirms the need for a thorough investigation" into the crash.
Canadian foreign minister Francois-Philippe Champagne has already told his Iranian counterpart that "Canadian officials must immediately be granted access to Iran, to be granted consular services, to identify victims and participate in a thorough investigation", Trudeau says.
He says Iran has expressed "an openness to Canadian involvement in the investigation from the beginning".
But Trudeau provides no confirmation of Canada's involvement, and Iran has said it intends to keep the aircraft's cockpit voice and flight data recorders within its borders.
The aircraft took off from Tehran at 06:13 local time on 8 January and climbed westward to 8,000ft before disappearing from radar, Iran has said. Purported video of the crash shows a fiery object, breaking apart and falling from the sky.
Ali Abedzadeh, head of Iran's Civil Aviation Organisation, said it is "scientifically impossible" that a missile downed the aircraft, noting close cooperation between Iran's civil and military sectors.
Prime minister Trudeau says he has spoken to Netherlands prime minister Mark Rutte about the Netherlands' experience investigating the crash of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in 2014. Dutch investigators determined a Russian missile downed that aircraft, a 777-200.
On Thursday, some European airlines decided to aviod Iran airspace altogether as a precautionary measure. Lufthansa's daily direct flight from Frankfurt to Teheran, LH600, was turned around over Romaina and is currently returning to Germany. Austrian Airlines flight OS871 from Vienna to Teheran landed in Sofia, according to flight tracking website Flightradar24.

While writing software code, several coding tools are used along with the programming language to simplify the tasks of writing the software code. Note that coding tools vary from one programming language to another as they are developed according to a particular programming language. However, sometimes a single coding tool can be used in more than one programming language. Generally, coding tools comprises text editors, supporting tools for a specific programming language, and the framework required to run the software code. Some of the commonly used coding tools are listed in Table.
In addition to the programming language and coding tools, there are some software programs that are essential to run the software code. For instance, a debugger is used to detect the source of program errors by performing a step-by-step execution of the software code. A debugger breaks program execution at various levels in the application program. It supports features such as breakpoints, displaying or changing memory, and so on. Similarly, compilers are used to translate programs written in a high-level language into their machine language equivalents.
Table Coding Tools
Coding Tools | Language | Description |
JBuilder | Java, XML | Used to speed up web applications and database applications. It provides interfaces to application servers such as Web Logic, WebSphere and EAServer as an editor and visual flow designer. In addition, it provides the J2SE and J2EE support in Java, enhanced performance tools, and code audits. |
Dreamweaver | HTML,ASP.NET | Used for the server-side scripting of languages such as ASP.NET and HTML. In addition, it is used for performing functions such as creation of websites, database connections, querying a database, formatting the output of software code, and displaying multiple records. |
Eclipse | Java | Used for Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Java. It is a cross-platform tool integrated with other coding tools of Java and relatively easy to set up. |
Ant | Java | Used for writing code in Java. In addition, it is a cross-platform tool and is flexible to use as any action being performed repeatedly can be standardized using Ant. |
Junit | Java | Used for testing a framework by creating tests for the software code that are to be repeated as often as required. |

Poulan Lawn Tractor Commercial 1991
Commercial for Poulan Lawn Tractors and Mowers broadcast in 1991
Poulan was originally an independent American company based in Shreveport, Louisiana, founded as Poulan Saw Co. in 1912 by chainsaw pioneer Claude Poulan. Purchased in the late fifties or early sixties by the Beaird Company, also of Shreveport, it was known as Beaird-Poulan. The company was acquired by Emerson Electric in 1972 and was purchased by Electrolux in 1984.
The Poulan brand name is used primarily for outdoor power equipment, such as chainsaws, lawnmowers, and leaf blowers, aimed at the mid-level consumer market. Since Poulan is owned by Husqvarna, the two brands often share technologies. In recent years Poulan has offered a more upscale "Poulan Pro" brand employing a black and gold color scheme instead of Poulan's traditional green. As a result, Poulan products have been pushed even further upmarket.

With summer approaching quickly, nothing sounds better than taking a cool, refreshing dip in a swimming pool. If you're lucky enough to have your own pool, you can take advantage of it all summer long.
We often don't think about how much energy a pool uses, but it can become a problem – not only for the environment but for your utility bills.
There are a few simple things you can do to make your in-ground or above-ground pool more energy-efficient and save some money.
Let's take a look at some tips you can put into place this summer!
Use Solar Power
If you're not already using the sun's energy to heat your pool, it's a good time to start! If you're thinking about installing a pool, keep this in mind: Pools collect solar energy very well and convert it to heat. If your swimming pool gets direct sunlight most of the day, there's a good chance you won't have to invest in a heater, or at least you won't have to run it as often.
If you have an above ground pool, it can be moved to absorb the sun's rays more efficiently. An in-ground pool can be a little different, but it's not impossible to get more sun. Things like tree trimming can quickly get rid of shade and let the pool's natural solar collection power get to work.
You can also invest in a solar cover for your pool to use when it's not in use. Solar covers keep water from evaporating so quickly, and they also lock in the heat of the water. They can help to reduce your energy costs by up to 70%.
Timing is Everything
Instead of running your pumps and heaters for several long hours at a time, put them on a timer schedule. That way, you can run them for a few shorter bursts during the day, when you're going to spend more time in the pool. You can save hours of energy waste this way.
Pump it Up
Perhaps the best way to save money and reduce energy consumption in your pool is by choosing an energy-efficient pump. There are now specific energy-efficient pumps available. But, even if you don't want to invest in one, you can save money by choosing a smaller pump for your pool and running it less often.
Pumps can be programmed to a variety of different speeds. Turning the speed down for simple daily cleanings can save a lot of energy. When you need a 'deep clean,' you can turn up the speed for awhile. There is no need to have your pump running constantly on a high speed. It's simply wasting energy and money, and your pool can get just as clean on a slower speed.
Newer pumps can also help to circulate the water in your pool, so the filter has to do less work. All around, that means more money in your wallet in a very short amount of time!
If you're planning on spending as much time as possible in the pool this summer, keep these simple tips in mind.
You can turn your pool into an energy-efficient oasis of relaxation. Your pocketbook will thank you for it too!

The Lord Has Done This for Me
I love fresh starts and the promise of new beginnings. July 1, 2017, marks the "official" start of our new theme – "more." An idea that was conceived on Monday, September 26, 2016, and announced on Monday, May 29, 2017, is now ready to breathe life into all who are ready to receive good news.
As we journey together through this new theme, we will look at women who received "more" through the life-transforming work of Jesus. The first woman we encounter in the gospel of Luke is Elizabeth. She is described as the wife of a priest named Zechariah, a descendant of Aaron, upright in the sight of the Lord, blameless in observing all the Lord's commandments and regulations, childless, barren, and well along in years. (Luke 1:5-7)
Little did she know that the Lord had more for her than she could have ever asked or imagined.
After 400 years of silence, it was announced to Zechariah that the time had come for one to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. The time had come for one who would be great in the sight of the Lord. The time had come for a son who would be a joy and delight. The time had come for a birth that would cause many to rejoice.
Who would bear this son? Who would give birth to this one? Elizabeth.
Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. Scripture records her words of gratitude and praise: "The Lord has done this for me. In these days, he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people." (Luke 1:25)
The gospel was already making an impact! Healing. Life-giving. Affirming. Praise-inducing. Personal.
What is your story? Do you have a testimony of receiving "more" from the Lord? Are you still waiting? Don't despair. God sees you. God loves you. God has provided all that you need. The answer begins with Jesus, the One God sent to proclaim good news to the poor, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. May this year bring experiences which cause you to exclaim with delight, "The Lord has done this for me!"

Next:RUSSIA: This Is No Joke
April 2, 2021: The Indian state-owned OFB (Ordnance Factory Board) recently worked out a partnership deal with the Russian JSC Kalashnikov Concern and the Russian government to jointly build a factory in India to produce at least 700,000 Russian designed AK-203 7.62/39mm rifles under license. The new IRRPL (Indo-Russia Rifles Private) firm would be 50.5 percent owned by the OFB, 42 percent by Kalashnikov and the rest by the Russian government. The first 100,000 AK-203s imported from Russia and the new IRRPL plant will assemble Indian-made and Russian-made components until Indian suppliers for all the components can be found. IRRPL currently has orders from the Indian Army and other Indian security agencies to keep the factory operational into the early 2030s. If IRRPL can maintain quality standards, their AK-203 will find more customers inside India and elsewhere.
The AK-203, along with a smaller number of imported German SIG716 sniper rifles, will replace the locally designed and built INSAS (Indian Small Arms System) rifles that proved to be a disaster when actually used in combat. There are also still a lot of elderly AK-47s in user by Indian police and other security agencies that need to be replaced by something at least as good as the AK-47 and preferably similar. The INSAS was also similar to the AK-47 but less reliable. The AK-203 is similar to the AK-47 but with additional capabilities users have already reported as satisfactory.
The delays in working out the AK-203 deal forced Indian military leaders to improvise. In 2019 India ordered 72,400 German designed, American built SIG716 7.62/61mm rifles for snipers, or "designated marksmen" in infantry units. These have been delivered and the Indian Army is trying to get money to buy more.
SIG716 rifles cost $1, 270 each, weigh 3.85 kg (8.5 pounds), are 940mm (37 inches) long and have a 406mm (16 inch) barrel. There is a ten-round magazine as well as an accessory rail for mounting scopes. The first 10,000 of these arrived in late 2019 and the rest are arriving in 10,000 rifle lots. The SIG716 is effective without a scope but extremely accurate with one. The SIG716 is based on the AR-10 design, a 7.62mm version of the AR-15 5.56mm weapon that became the M-16/M-4. The AR-10 served as the basis for a growing number of similar sniper rifles. The SIG716 proved very popular with Indian troops and that encouraged the government to expedite the manufacturing of something in India that was similar in effectiveness and troop acceptance.
The AK-203 was a late candidate to replace the INSAS. This was because of flaws in the Indian procurement system. A decade ago, India conducted a competition to select a foreign replacement for INSAS. The competitors included the Israeli ACE, the latest version of a weapon selected in the early 1970s to become the standard Israeli infantry rifle. Another competitor was CCR (Colt Combat Rifle), an upgraded version of the American M-16/M-4 design offered by the M4 manufacturer. These two rifles performed best in the competition but neither could meet the Indian QR (Qualitative Requirements). In fact, no rifle could meet the absurd QR and eventually the QR was quietly abandoned and India ignored the ACE and CCR for the Russian AM-203 which never competed and almost lost the contract because the accountants pointed out that unless Kalashnikov reduced the license fee of $200 per rifle, it would cost more to produce the rifle in Indian than to import them from Russia. Kalashnikov cut the license fee in half and the deal went though, with each Indian made AK-203 costing about $1,100.
The Israeli ACE and the American M4 have an interesting common history. The earliest version of ACE had been selected in the early 1970s to replace an assortment of other, mostly older, weapons to become the standard Israeli infantry rifle. The planned 1973 introduction of ACE was disrupted by the unexpected outbreak of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. During that war the U.S. rushed over emergency supplies, including lots of M-16s. These cost Israel nothing because they could be paid for with the military aid the Americans provide to Israel. Israeli troops liked the M-16, especially the version sent, which had been tweaked to fix flaws discovered during nearly a decade of heavy use in Vietnam. ACE was still competitive, but the Israelis would have to pay for that out of their own budget. The one catch with American military aid was that it had to be used for any American weapons the Israelis wanted. In 1994 the M4, a smaller and improved version of the M-16, appeared and Israeli troops liked this one even more. The Israeli ACE was still around as it could compete with the M-16 for export contracts and often won.
Then there was the Indian developed INSAS. This rifle was an embarrassment from the start and got worse. By 2015, responding to the growing combat losses because of INSAS 5.56mm assault rifle flaws, the Indian government capitulated and allowed the military to get rifles that worked. Unfortunately for nationalist politicians, this usually means a foreign supplier. Israel provided its Tavor assault rifle to replace most of the INSAS 5.56mm assault rifles used by commandos but the government insisted on a locally made rifle to supply the much larger needs of the army infantry and police forces. Foreign designs were still allowed for replacing special needs. That included items like a modern sniper rifle and a new LMG (Light Machinegun). SIG got the sniper sale and another Israeli firm provided the new LMG (Light Machine-Gun). Meanwhile it was hoped that Indian procurement officials learned something from the INSAS disaster.
The INSAS saga began in the 1980s when there was growing clamor for India to design and build its own weapons. This included something as basic as the standard infantry rifle. At that time soldiers and paramilitary-police units were equipped with a mixture of old (but still quite effective) British Lee-Enfield bolt-action 7.62mm rifles and newer Belgian FALs (sort of a semi-automatic Lee-Enfield) plus a growing number of Russian AK-47s. The rugged and reliable Russian assault rifle was most popular with its users and by far the cheapest to buy.
In the late 1980s India began developing a family of 5.56mm infantry weapons that included a rifle, light machine-gun and carbine. Called the INSAS, the state-owned factories were unable to produce the quantities required and agreed to. Worse, the rifles proved fragile and unreliable. The design was poorly thought out and it is believed corruption played a part because the INSAS had more parts than it needed and cost over twice as much to produce as the AK-47.
The original plan was to equip all troops with INSAS weapons by 1998. That never happened, although troops began to receive the rifle in 1998. By 2000 half the required weapons ordered were still not available because of inadequate production facilities. Then the situation for worse. In 1999 the INSAS rifles got their first real combat workout in the Kargil campaign against Pakistan. While not a complete failure, the nasty weather that characterized that battle zone high in the frigid mountains saw many failures as metal parts sometimes cracked from the extreme cold. Troops complained that they were at a disadvantage because their Pakistani foes could fire on full-automatic with their AK-47s while the INSAS rifles had only three bullet burst mode which, fortunately, sometimes failed and fired more than three bullets for each trigger pull. What was most irksome about this was that the INSAS rifles were the same weight, size and shape as the AK-47 but cost about $300 each, while AK-47s could be had for less than half that. The INSAS looked like the AK-47 because its design was based on that weapon.
The Indians persevered, tweaking the design and improving the manufacturing process. Because of that, after nearly two decades the INSAS weapons were gaining some acceptance. By 2015 nearly 400,000 had been delivered. Compared to most 5.56mm rifles on the market, INSAS had a price advantage and India was looking for export customers. No one was really interested. Only three small nations showed interest, and that was more for political reasons than for military ones. The major export customer (Nepal) got them at a huge discount and quickly found Nepalese troops demanding a replacement rifle because the INSAS was fatally unreliable.
In the decade following the Kargil debacle, INSAS rifles also malfunctioned in several highly publicized incidents involving the leftist (Maoist) rebels increasingly active in eastern India. Responding to the continuing performance and reliability problems, some changes were made but most Indian users wanted a better rifle, not an improved failure like INSAS. The military had been conducting a competition since 2013 and the winners were the Israeli Tavor and ACE assault rifles.
The Tavor and ACE were similar to INSAS models but lighter and easier to use and maintain. The Israelis had an edge in combat experience with their weapons and have been selling more weapons to India than just about anyone else and was a major reason the Tavor prevailed when it came to obtaining relatively small orders from Indian special operations forces. Politics intervened again and superior American and Israeli rifles were ignored in favor of the AK-203. Fortunately, the AK-203 was a decent design which, if manufactured competently in India, would satisfy Indian users still armed with the INSAS.
The Indian AK-203 will use the older, but still effective, AK-47 7.62/39 round, instead of the smaller 5.56mm. The AK-203 was designed to quickly adapt to a different size round and the Indians decided that if the AK-203 was to be accepted by the many existing AK-47 users, the 7.62/39 round was acceptable. The AK-203 weighs 3.8 kg (8.4 pounds) empty (no magazine or special sights), uses the standard 30 round magazine, as well as special magazines holding up to 75 rounds. It is more accurate than the original AK-47 and is effective out to 800 meters. It has an adjustable stock and is as easy to maintain as the AK-47. The AK-203 is designed to easily install and use modern rifle sights. Getting the first 100,000 rifles from Russian factories will keep the Indian manufacturer honest because the troops will notice, and openly complain, about any performance differences between the Russian and Indian made rifles.

Journal Entry 3- Friday, 2nd Jan 2021 Time: 7 AM - Morning Arousals
Due to the pandemic last year, I have spent most of the time home, other than at my college hostel. Since the home has always been a comfortable place to be, I have remained braless throughout the time. Even today, right now, I am staring at my body, looking in the mirror, my curvy body, with a 34C bust size and a 36 waist size and those nipples which have just become hard, pointing out, with no specific reason.
I have wondered the reason behind why nipples peep through the clothes, in situations when I am not even horny. But, the irony lies here that when I admire the hard nipples through the clothes, I get aroused too!
This is probably the 5th time, during these 10 months at home that it is happening to me. Those teeny tiny tips drive me to feel them without the clothes over them. To admire my natural figure, in the mirror, the beauty of the tits and those curves of the hips.
I am perfectly glad about my body type, even while being chubby.
I have got no time to waste, it's time to lock the doors and close down the curtains. I love the vibe that my room gives, with the curtains on and the dim sunlight that comes across. I am wearing shirt like clothing, that allows me to unbutton them, one by one, leading to gradual opening-up of the body, from one curve to the other. As and when I see my round shoulders, adds to the initial pleasure.
So now, it's just naked me and the clear mirror. On deeply observing my breasts, I felt they are dry and hence decided to moisturize them. I love massaging my boobs with oil or a moisturizer, and I continue doing so. I love shaking them in the fastest motion ever, just like how those actresses in Hollywood songs do with their bikinis on. I find pleasure by massaging them both together at the same time, rubbing them against each other, grabbing them, and making the nipples meet each other, with my 34C sized bust size is a heavenly feeling.
I turn towards the right, to get a side view of my boobs, how round and pointed their tips are, almost half-inch long by now. My nipples are indeed dark, due to my brown skin type, which I feel is naturally pretty.
I sit on a chair facing the mirror since that makes the boobs feel bustier than lying on the bed on the back. My actions so far have lead the fluid to start their activities and invite my fingers to stimulate them better.
This time, I tend to take the three fingers together since I feel extra horny looking at my round boobs, flashing myself in the mirror. As I start to finger and give them to and fro movement continuously, it was not a gradual process this time, I took no time to tease them around, this was so quick and continuous.
What caused me more arousals is the movement and swinging of the boobs, while I masturbated, slightly like how the boobs jiggle during sex. I wanted my fingers to act harder and harder against the hole, just to admire the movement of the fucking hot boobs. Oh my goodness, sometimes, I feel no partner would give me this level of pleasure, while I secretly hope they do!
Well, that lasted for around 10 minutes, an exclusive session for enjoying the beauty, also embracing those flaws, those stretch marks here and there over the body. Yet again, I did feel a lighter climax, than my recent session.
But yes, I could experience this feeling of freshness, and special freedom of being naked, for my body to have a conversation with the air around, the sunlight, and the mirror itself.

Crescent H Homesites
The origin of Crescent H Ranch was its founding as a dude ranch in the 1920s. The ranch changed hands over the ensuing years and was eventually subdivided by developer Donald Albrecht in the mid 1980's. This development kept the guest ranch portion of the ranch intact, but created 1-2 acre lots that allowed residents to use the private equestrian trails, spring creek and Snake River fishing. In 1997 the ranch was purchased by John Thornton and the remaining guest ranch land was subdivided into 35 acre luxury homesites that were soon to be developed with some of the finest homes in the valley (see Southern River Frontage and Large Tract Residential). Today, only the remnants of the Crescent H Dude Ranch operation are visible, but the residents of this development are fortunate enough to enjoy the system of private trails and spring creek fishing that were once reserved for guests of the ranch.

Nov 22, 2018
On this Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I put together a show on two of the most important and interesting topics in medical history--the 1918 influenza pandemic and the yellow fever outbreak in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries.
These are older; however, very informative interviews.
To discuss the 1918 influenza pandemic is historian and author of the book, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, John M. Barry.
During the second half, writer and author, Bob Arnebeck joined me to discuss the history of yellow fever in the US in the late 18th century into the 19th century.

Another iconic LA eatery has reopened in Beverly Hills. Wolfgang Puck's Spago has unveiled a new look after a much needed facelift and menu revamp.
Designer Waldo Fernandez – also responsible for the casual-chic vibe at Soho House in LA, has brought calming neutral colors to the banquettes and open main dining room facing the kitchen, while the patio is sure to be one of the most romantic date spots to book this holiday season.
Die hard Puck fans need not worry about some of the changes, the pizza with house cured smoked salmon and dill crème fraiche is still on the lunch menu and there is a Weinerschnitzel, Austrian potato and cucumber salad as well, but we have our eye on the dinner menu with steamed Maine lobster, Hong Kong, for two; B.B.Q. skate, spicy Indonesian sambal and the whole roasted Chinese duck.
While lounging in one of the white canvas chairs on the patio has been a top table to book on the Westside of Los Angeles for over three decades, it was time for Michael's to update the dining room, bar and even menu. What many people don't realize is Michael's was not only a hot elbow rubbing dining destination, and art gallery, but this American eatery also launched some of the largest legends in the culinary business. Nancy Silverton, Mark Peel, Jonathan Waxman, and Sang Yoon, all spent time in this kitchen and the legend will certainly continue with Executive Chef John-Carlos Kuramoto who was recently named to LA's "Top 30 under 30" by Zagat.
"We have reinvented Michael's into a very approachable American-Californian restaurant, to reflect the way people are dining today," says owner Michael McCarty. "We appreciate the support of all of our valued guests over the past 33 years and will continue our world-renowned reputation for farm-to-table, impeccably cooked new American food, now in a new, exciting, and inviting atmosphere designed to match our very accessible prices and expanded menu."
Michael's now features a best-of-the-best menu along with specialties from a newly installed pizza oven, a raw bar, a wide selection of small plates, pastas and tasting menus. The expanded bar will also offer a small bites menu featuring items like oysters, raclette, a Santa Monica Farmers' Market sauté, and a daily pizza selection. The new mixology power bar features farm-to-glass cocktails using organic produce from Michael's very own rooftop garden.
Japanese-Mexican influences from Chef Kuramoto's heritage standout in dishes like Tuna Poke with apple, Jalapeño, pine nuts and cilantro-ginger-soy dressing; a daily selection of tacos; house-made merguez sausage, hand-torn pasta with mushroom ragu, and Michael's burger – which is the best in town at the moment.
The iconic garden patio has been re-landscaped and re-decorated with new tables, chairs and lighting, along with a new art collection specially curated by artist Kim McCarty, Michael's wife. Features works by famous local artists include Peter Alexander, Lucas Reiner, Billy Al Bengston, Roger Herman, Dennis Hopper, William Berry, Elisabeth Kitchen, Julião Sarmento, Tony De Los Reyes, Ed Moses, Tony Berlant, Charles Arnoldi, and Laddie John Dill.

What is it that a Brit should know about American Contras?American Contras are complicated (and not so complicated) Ceilidh dances: the pattern repeats & repeats & repeats. The structure of 99% of all Contras is, you do the dance for 64 beats with one couple and then you (magically) move on and do the very same dance, for 64 beats, with another couple. Unlike Ceilidh dances, EVERY Contra (there are a rare few exceptions) is 64 beats long. Because the pattern is so clear, it is not difficult to learn the pattern -- after a few repetitions.
I call Contras Trance Dance because after a few repetitions I am almost in a trance: my feet know the moves. I no longer need to listen to the caller -- and often, after a few times through the dance, the caller shuts up. What also differentiates Contras from Ceilidh dances is that callers let Contras go for anywhere from ten to twenty five repetitions. We do the dance over & over & over & over. One name for American Contras is Appalachian Sufi dancing -- like the whirling dervishes, we try to induce a trancelike state through constant repetition, and through dances that contain many swings.
One joke Americans make is that the perfect American Contra dance is Swing your partner, swing your corner, move on to the next couple. We love swinging. Many American dancers are furious when a Contra does not contain a swing your partner move. Many American dancers expect all Contras to contain a swing your partner & swing your corner move. American Contras are written so that there is a great deal of interaction between the four people who are dancing with each other -- men with women, women with women, men with men
On the other hand, to keep from getting too dizzy, we do eye contact with a vengeance. Americans call Contras an eye contact sport. Perhaps we overdo eye contact, but for the most part, it is harmless. No one should assume anything at the end of a Contra. Americans say that in Contras, it is Attention without intention -- and for the most part that is true.
Another huge difference between dancing in America and dancing in Britain is that at the end of every Contra the caller says, Please thank this partner & find another. In America, it is almost impolite to dance with the same partner all evening long. Contras draw many single people, and even those who come to the Contra with a partner are expected to split up and dance with other people.
Like Ceilidh dances, Contras contain a limited number of moves. At one point one could say that all Contras contained a new combination of the basic 27 moves. Long ago there was a split between Contra dancers and Square dancers. Square dancers wanted to incorporate more & more moves into their dances, and they wanted new & complicated moves. Squares became so complicated that you had to take a series of classes before you would even be allowed into a square dance. Contra dancers objected. They wanted anyone to come in off the street and be able to do a called-contra, so they limited the moves that one could incorporate into a contra. So, for instance, until a few years ago no American Contra contained such square dance moves as star through or flutterwheel. There was (and to some extent still is) a deliberate attempt to limit Contras to a combination of 27 basic moves. Today some contras do incorporate some simple square dance moves (and some unusual moves like Georgia Orangutan), but by and large, Contras continue to be made up of the basic moves like dosido, allemande, down the hall, circle. Contras are meant to be simple patterns on the floor.
And that is a huge feature of Contras. Like Ceilidh dances & like English Country dances, there are almost no complicated moves with your feet: you are walking a pattern on the floor, not gargling with your feet, as someone once said is true of International Folk Dances.
What do Brits need to know about the actual dancing of Contras in America? American women (many of them) like to twirl at the end of some moves -- like a ladies chain, or a right & left through, or a swing. American men can encourage such twirling by raising their joined hands and allowing a woman to twirl. The crucial word here is allowing. Men should not force a lady to twirl -- they shouldnt corkscrew the womans arm. Many women in America dont want to be twirled and they discuss methods of discouraging those men who seem to take pleasure in throwing women around like rag dolls. Women can actively discourage such men by keeping their arms down. It is up to the lady whether she wants to be twirled once, or twice -- or in some rare cases, thrice.
Another thing men need to know is that it is up to the ladies to determine the distance between them. I have danced with some women who want to be smothered -- up close & really very personal -- and Ive danced with many women who want to keep a safe distance between us.What else is emphasized in Contras? Give weight. Dont be a limp fish, or a wet dishrag: give weight in all moves -- in 'right hands around' and in 'circle left' and in 'balance and swing' -- and the balance & swing in America is radically different from the balance & swing in Britain. In Britain you balance right & balance left & balance right & balance left. This leaves little time for the swing. We want lots of swing, so we balance right, balance left, and then we swing.
The balance. Therein lies a long story, much variation. For beginners, we say balance forward, balance back, swing. Most Contra dancers balance by stepping on their right foot, crossing their left foot in front, stepping on their left foot, crossing their right in front. I call it step lift, step lift. This leaves you in the perfect position (side by side) to begin a swing. At the end of the swing, some American dancers will twirl the lady -- some will even try to twirl her twice -- which brings me to an important feature of such twirls. Men must be sure to catch the lady at the end of such a twirl. The men must have their right hand out in front of them so that they can catch the ladys left hand as she comes out of the twirl -- or she will go flying outwards and fall. My wife often mentions that women have to learn to stay over their feet as they twirl.
There are regional variations to the balance & swing -- and to several other Contra moves. Some parts of the country begin the balance by stepping on the left foot first, then the right foot. Some people (not parts of the country), jump on one foot & kick with the other. Some parts of the country do a star right by taking hands across, while others do a right hand star by gripping the wrist of the person in front of them. Some people do a right & left through by taking hands with the person across from them & before they do a whirl turn with their partner. Other parts of the country do not touch hands with the opposite person before the whirl turn.
