Lift your left leg to the point where your thigh becomes parallel with the ground or higher. Break your arms in a downward semi-circular motion.

article: Place both feet shoulder width apart standing straight on top of the mound with your toes dangling off the front, and face directly towards your catcher, your toes pointed towards him with your heels on the rubber. Hold your glove in front of your chest, with your elbows resting on both sides of your torso. Some pitchers prefer to stand with their stride leg slightly behind their other leg. This is optional and may not work for everyone. Your should start in the stretch position when there are runners on the bases. Place your feet so they face third base if you throw right-handed or first base if you throw left-handed. The stretch is a faster way to pitch and you can maintain more balance, resulting in more control. Your right foot should be placed against the rubber, with your other foot one to two inches in front. This will enable you to get a full rotation with your hips, which will make you throw harder. If you start with your stride leg slightly back, simply shift your weight to that back leg. Shift your weight to your left foot, allowing you to lift your right foot and place it beside the rubber (or pivot your right foot into this position, whichever is more comfortable), so that the right side of your right foot is pressing against the mound. Your body should have begun to move with your right foot in the previous step, and at the end of this step your body should be facing third base instead of home plate. Your front arm should stay closed and your front elbow should be at a comfortable angle (45-90 degrees). Your throwing arm should hit what's called your "sweet spot" which is the point where you throwing arm is at its lowest point during your motion. Normally, it is at the point where your arm is nearly perpendicular to the ground, with a slight bend in your elbow. Ensure that your body stays facing third base through this step, and that you hit your sweet spot before continuing to the next step. Do this at the same time as moving your arms (the previous step). To lower your leg, bend your right knee until your left leg is close to the ground without touching the ground. Don't stride outwards until you have lowered your left leg fully or you will lose substantial power. Your front leg should have a curved "down and out" sweep towards home. As you are doing this, begin to raise your throwing arm out of the sweet spot so that is is parallel to the ground, without allowing your elbow to drop towards your hip. In other words, if landing your foot pointing at the plate is a 90 degree angle, land your foot pointing at a 75 degree angle. This will get your body into a power position. Your power position is the position where your legs are fully extended with your hips and arms still closed, ready to hurl your arm towards the plate. Pull forward with your front foot by pivoting from that 75 degree angle into a 90 degree angle. Ensure that you make this pivot before you swing open your upper body and pull your left arm towards first base. Pivoting early allows you to generate power with your hips, and create more of a whip action for your right arm. Your throwing elbow should be aligned with your shoulders (horizontally of course) through this step. The most common mistake pitchers make is to open their arms before their hips, which removes the power generated from their legs, causing pitchers to have less velocity, and increase the stress applied to their arms. Do not snap your wrist as this can cause injury. Your wrist should not guide the ball, but rather the ball guides your wrist. During your motion, it is beneficial to be aware of your wrist. As you move your arm from your sweet spot, your wrist should be pulled back, cocking the ball in your hand. Then, as you release the ball, the ball should glide off of your wrist, finishing with your wrist fully flexed. Extended your arm as far you can and allow your back leg to lift up from the forward momentum, and place it on the mound to get in a fielding position.

article: . Adorable people can always be found helping others, whether you're helping an old lady cross the street, helping your little brother with his homework, or helping a puppy find a new home. Look out for opportunities where you can help people, whether they are people you know or strangers in need of help. When you're talking to one of your friends and it obviously seems like he has a problem, then you should offer to help even if he hasn't asked you for it. This doesn't mean that you should get taken advantage of by always helping your friends and getting nothing back. If you help your friends, then they should help you. If you volunteer your time, then the universe will get you back. Being youthful is different from acting young or being completely immature. It just means that you shouldn't be world-weary, or look so tired and downtrodden that you've forgotten the fun, playful person you were as a child. Remember what it was like to have fun all the time, to be fascinated by the world, and to seize new opportunities. Laugh at corny jokes, try a dance class, or just chase your best friends around a park. You can be wise while still choosing to be young at heart. Youthful people don't complain about having to walk or to do something they don't want to do; they're too busy being in awe of life to slow down to complain. Adorable people always know when to say "please" and "thank you" and keep everything upbeat and positive. They are always polite, respectful to their elders and people in the service industry, and they hold doors for people and avoid burping or belching in public. They put napkins on their laps before they eat, know how to be kind over the telephone, and clean up after themselves. If you want to be adorable, then you definitely have to hone your manners. Adorable people are also very sweet. Being sweet means being kind, joyful, and generally gracious to others. If you're sweet, then you want to make other people feel loved and special, and to show people that you really care about them, even if you're just getting to know each other. This shouldn't be faked or forced, and you shouldn't be sweet one minute only to be mean behind someone's back the next second. Being sweet takes practice, but you can learn to show love for people if you work on it. . Adorable people are playful because they're curious about life and love exploring things. They like kicking a soccer ball around a beach, they like getting piggyback rides, and they like teasing their friends and having a good time. If you want to be playful, then you have to be open to new things, not be afraid to look at the world like a kid, and to find new uses for old things. If you want to be adorable, then being playful will help you keep up your sweet, fun image.

See your doctor if you are experiencing any symptoms of hypothyroidism, had radiation therapy to your head, neck, or upper chest, or treatment with radioactive iodine or anti-thyroid medications. Symptoms usually develop slowly over the years. You may not notice any symptoms at first or attribute them to other things. If your doctor find that you have laboratory abnormalities compatible with hypothyroidism in the setting of having clinical symptoms, he will recommend to start you on thyroid hormone replacement. Weight gain Fatigued for no reason Dry skin Pale and/or puffy face Constipation A hoarse voice Your doctor will listen to your symptoms and take a blood sample to test your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels and the level of thyroid hormone thyroxine. Before starting your thyroid medication, you should ask your doctor about any foods, supplements, or medications you need to avoid. Likewise, you should also talk to your doctor before starting any new supplement or medication to make sure that it will not interfere. Many drugs interact with levothyroxine. Amphetamines Anticoagulants Tricyclic antidepressants Anti-anxiety medications Arthritis medications Aspirin Beta-blockers Insulin Oral contraceptives Digoxin Anticonvulsants Some cancer drugs Iron replacement therapy Calcium carbonate Aluminum hydroxide Rifampin Hypothyroidism is almost always treated with the synthetic thyroid hormone called levothyroxine (Levothroid, Synthroid) which is a daily, oral medication. When working right, it restores your thyroid hormone levels to the correct balance and reverses the symptoms of hypothyroidism. If the dosage is correct, you should start feeling less fatigued within one to two weeks. The medication should also help lower cholesterol levels that might have been raised by your hypothyroidism, and it has also been known to reverse weight gain related to the disease. Note that most patients will need to be treated for the rest of their lives. You will likely have your thyroid hormone levels checked on a yearly basis to determine if the dosage is correct or needs to be altered. It can take a few months before your doctor determines the right dosage. The doctor will likely measure your TSH level via a blood test before prescribing an initial dosage. Six to eight weeks after you start your medication, another similar test will be performed to determine if the dosage is right. A typical starting dose will be calculated by your doctor, based on your weight. This amount may increase every three to four weeks until TSH levels are normal. The proper dosage depends on how elevated your TSH levels are, your age, and presence of any other medical problems that may be affected by thyroid replacement treatment (e.g. heart failure, depression, osteoporosis). If the dosage is too low, symptoms associated with hypothyroidism might still persist, including constipation, feeling cold, feeling sluggish, and gaining weight. If the dosage is too high, you might feel excessive nervousness, have problems sleeping, and suffer from shaking or tremors. Even though you will typically have your thyroid hormone levels checked yearly, there is some chance that your thyroid levels can drop again before your yearly check-up comes along. Watch for signs of hypothyroidism, including sluggishness, constipation, confusion, and a frequent feeling of being cold. See your doctor if you feel like your medication is not working. If you develop a bowel disease or take medicine that affects your intestinal tract, your thyroid medication may not be getting absorbed correctly. The condition will either need to be treated or your thyroid medication will need to be increased. Similarly, your doctor may increase your thyroid medication dosage if you are taking estrogen or phenytoin. You also need to make sure that you are not taking too much thyroid medication. Over time, an excess can cause irregular heartbeats and osteoporosis. Some foods are known to interact with thyroid medications. You can still eat these foods, but they need to be consumed several hours before or after you take your medication. These foods include walnuts, soybean flour, cottonseed meal, and large amounts of dietary fiber. It is best to take your medication on an empty stomach and with a full glass of water. If you eat a high-fiber diet, you will need larger doses of medication. Discuss this with your doctor. Levothyroxine is a safe medication and side effects are not common when you are on the right dosage. Less common side effects include chest pain or discomfort, decreased urine output, difficulty swallowing or breathing, fever, increased blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, menstrual changes, skin irritation, sweating, mood changes, muscle weakness, increased appetite, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. See your doctor if you experience any of these side effects. Before synthetic levothyroxine was developed, doctors used to prescribe desiccated thyroid tablets (Armour and Nature-Throid) with thyroid obtained from animal thyroid glands. Since these lacked consistency and potency, such extract is rarely used today, but you can still opt for it if you prefer a natural alternative. These extracts contain thyroxine and triiodothyronine, two types of thyroid hormones. Synthetic medication, in contrast, only offers a supply of thyroxine, but the triiodothyronine you need can be derived from the thyroxine. Note that you should only use extracts prescribed by a doctor and not a glandular concentrate sold over-the-counter at a natural food store.
