In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Heat the sugar in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over a medium heat, stirring with a fork. When the sugar starts to melt, stop stirring and cook, swirling the pan occasionally so the sugar will melt evenly. The sugar is ready when it turns dark amber in color. Remove the saucepan containing the caramelized sugar from the heat. Add in the cup of heavy cream, along with a pinch of salt. The mixture will bubble and steam, but don't worry, this is normal. Return the saucepan to the heat and stir until the caramel has dissolved. Roughly chop the chocolate using a sharp knife. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the chopped chocolate. Whisk continuously, until the chocolate has melted. Whisk in the vanilla extract, along with the Cognac or brandy, if using. Keep the chocolate sauce warm until you are ready to serve the profiteroles. Cover the saucepan and place over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
Summary: Heat the sugar. Add the cream. Add the chocolate. Add the flavoring. Keep warm.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Go through your windup normally, with a normal fastball motion until you reach your release point. The knuckleball should look like a fastball until the pitcher reveals the ball right before his release. You don't want to tip your pitches to the batter. Don't alter your arm slot or anything else. This can reduce the chance your knuckleball will knuckle and end up as a soft lob. This is essential to getting minimal amount of spin. Throwing a fastball, you usually move your wrist down as you release the ball, creating steady spin on the ball and causing it to travel straight, more or less. Throwing a knuckleball, you try to do the opposite, because you don't want spin. Extend your fingertips out as you release the ball. This will minimize spin. Try to let your knuckles be the topmost point of your hand as you release. Having your knuckles at the very top of your hand will ensure that less spin is created when you release the ball. Let the ball slip through your hands by releasing your thumb from the grip. Follow through and end as if you are throwing any other pitch.
Summary: Keep a fast arm motion. Keep your wrist up as you release the pitch. Perfect your release.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A good relationship is built on open communication. As you and your dad try to foster a healthier relationship, work on talking to him every day. Find time to talk every day. You can talk to your dad at the dinner table, or after he gets home from work. You do not always have to have a serious discussion. You can simply talk about your day at school. If your dad did something to hurt your feelings, make sure to let him know. You want to make sure he knows if he's continuing to pick on you and upset you. It's possible your dad may not improve. Your dad may have problems with anger or stress management. You may need to see a family counselor to figure out how to best address the issue and form a healthier family dynamic. You may want to talk to a counselor at your school before talking to your parents. Your counselor can help advise you on how to bring up family counseling, and may even be able to talk to your parents for you. Parents screw up sometimes, and may accidentally pick on their children. However, if your dad is routinely making you uncomfortable, you may be the victim of emotional abuse. It's important to figure out if you are being emotionally abused so you can take action to end the abuse. Your dad may ignore you when you do not behave the way he wants. He may not look at you or call you by name. Your dad may prevent you from seeing friends. He may not allow you to have a normal social life. This is to keep you isolated and away from others. Your dad may talk to you in a way that is traumatizing. He may ridicule you or curse at you. He may call you things like "stupid" or "worthless." He may also do things to scare you, like placing a pet or a sibling in a dangerous situation. It's important you tell someone about abuse, as it can be very damaging over the longterm. Emotional abuse may also eventually turn into physical abuse. Tell another adult relative, the parent of a friend, or a trusted teacher or counselor at school what is going on. These adults should be able to find you the resources you need to get away from an abusive situation. If you do not have an adult you feel you can trust, try calling Childhelp USA. This is an organization that seeks to help children who are being physically or emotionally abused by a parent. You can call at (800) 4-A-CHILD.
Summary:
Talk to your dad regularly. Ask your parents about family counseling if the situation does not improve. Watch for warning signs of emotional abuse. Seek help from a trusted adult if you are being abused.
