Problem: Article: A four-seam fastball is gripped with the index and middle fingers going perpendicular across the U-shaped seams. Your two fingers should touch the seams of the baseball in four places: the bottom of both fingers and the top. This will help create the cut in your fastball, as the last finger that touches the ball will be the middle finger. Your thumb and your top fingers may not be exactly diametrically opposed, but they should be pretty comfortable.
Summary: Start off by gripping the ball as would a four-seam fastball. Move your two fingers together and slightly to the right, placing extra pressure on your middle finger. Keep your thumb in the bottom position, or perhaps up on the inside of the ball, anchoring.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: At the beginning of the promissory note, you will want to include the borrower's information and your information (the lender). This provision should simply include everyone's name and address. Towards the beginning of your promissory note, you may want to include a statement clarifying whether the instrument is going to be negotiable or not. If you want to make your promissory note negotiable, all you need to say is, "This note is negotiable." If you want to make your promissory note non-negotiable, simply state, "This note is non-negotiable." After your statement of negotiability, insert the payment provision you wrote based on the type of loan you are providing the borrower. Look at the section about choosing the type of loan you will provide for various acceptable provisions. Depending on what type of loan you will be offering, you may want to include a late payment clause. A late payment clause will ensure you are compensated in case the borrower does not make their payment on time. If you are offering an installment or interest only payment option, consider the following late payment provision: "If any installment/interest only payment due under this note is not received by Lender within [late fee grace period] days of its due date, the Borrower will pay a late fee of [some percentage]% of the amount of the monthly payment. The late fee will be due immediately. If you want to include an acceleration clause, which will allow you to demand payment in full immediately upon the borrower's late payment, you can use this provision: "If any installment/interest only payment is not received by Lender within [acceleration grace period] days of its due date, Lender may demand, in writing, that Borrower repay the entire amount of unpaid principal immediately. After receiving Lender's demand, Borrower will immediately pay the entire unpaid principal." If you are offering a lump sum payment option, use this provision: "If payment due under this note is not received by Lender within [late fee grace period] days of its due date, the Borrower will pay a late fee of [some percentage]% of the amount of the payment. The late fee will be due immediately. Next you will want to include an address where the borrower should send payments, as well as an address where you, the lender, can send any notices. Towards the end of your promissory note, you need to specify whether the loan you are offering will be secured or unsecured. An unsecured loan is a loan supported only by the borrower's creditworthiness, and not by any collateral. On the other hand, a secured loan is a loan that has collateral attached to it. With a secured loan, if the borrower defaults the lender can collect the collateral as a form of repayment. If you are choosing to make the loan unsecured, simply state that the note is unsecured. On the other hand, if you are planning to make your note secured, you will need to include a provision such as this: "Until the principal and interest owed under this note is paid in full, this note will be secured by a security agreement giving Lender a security interest in specified equipment, fixtures, inventory, or other assets." You will then have to describe the property, in detail, that you are securing as collateral.

SUMMARY: Name a borrower and a lender. Provide a statement of negotiability. Include your payment provision. Lay out a late payment clause. Give payment and notice addresses. Choose whether the loan will be secured or unsecured.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you do your first split, you're probably (understandably) focused on possible injury or discomfort you might experience, so it's easy to forget that you can shred certain types of clothing by doing a split. Don't put yourself at risk for an embarrassing rip! Wear loose or flexible clothing, such as the following suggestions: Athletic shorts, leggings, track pants, skirt, or sweat pants. Loose t-shirts or tank tops. Skin-tight elastic material - spandex or lycra leotards, dance clothes, etc. Martial arts clothing - karate gi, etc. Socks or tights. You may also go barefoot. Never attempt to push yourself past your limit. Doing the splits requires lots of time and plenty of patient practice. Increasing your flexibility can take months. Since this is a process that happens gradually over time, you may not notice improvement every time you attempt the splits. Stick with it! You will get better as you practice every day. Keep in mind that the splits are not a comfortable position even for most people who have them.
Summary: Wear flexible clothing. Be patient.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pick something that you know best, or learn about something new and tell the world what you have learned. Determine what kind of educational video you want to make: Will this be a "how-to" video, or will you be providing in-depth information on a particular topic? Will there be interactive activities, or will you be talking throughout the video? Make an outline of how you want your video to proceed before you start filming. Adequate preparation for your educational video is key. Many people (especially those who are camera-shy) are more comfortable speaking in front of a camera once they have rehearsed what they want to say. Make sure you have your facts correct. Before making an educational video, double-check to make sure that the information you will be providing is correct. You don't know how many people will watch this video! The key to creating an educational video in which you seem like an expert is to be confidence in your message. The best way to gain this confidence is through repetition. Practice in front of a mirror. Doing a run-through of your script with no one around to judge it can be a good way to iron out kinks and gain confidence. Practice with a friend, and have her give you feedback. It may be beneficial to have another person listen to your script before you film it and publish it. If possible, practice speaking from memory without the assistance of notes. Think about the message you are trying to convey, and locate any props that will make this message clearer and your video more stimulating. Watch other educational videos to see if and how they effectively use props. While it is important not to directly copy any other video, you may be inspired by what you see on other videos. Remember that a prop can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. There are no specific guidelines to creating your own educational video! The props that you use in your video will be unique to the topic you are presenting. Remember that speaking in front of a camera can feel a lot different from speaking in front of your mirror. The more practice you can get, the better your video will be. Film your dress rehearsal if possible. This will allow you to watch it over, review your performance, and identify any mistakes you may have made. Ask a trusted friend to watch your video and provide critiques. A neutral third party may be able to better identify errors or potential distractions in your video.
Summary:
Identify your topic of interest. Prepare a script. Practice your script. Get any props you may need. Do a dress rehearsal.
