A two-seam fastball is a pitch in baseball and a variant of the straight fastball. The pitch has the speed of a fastball and is often referred to as the sinker.
Several grips are used for a two-seam fastball, the most common of which is to place the index and middle fingers along the seams where they are closest together (where the horseshoes point in towards each other) with the thumb placed directly below on the leather with the rear of the thumb just touching the bottom near seam. The arm action is identical to a four-seam fastball, although the hand action differs slightly. Typically, the two-seam has more movement if the pitcher applies index fingertip pressure, or holds the baseball deeper in the hand. Both techniques cause the ball to spin out of the hand off-center and away from the pitcher, similar to the spin of a changeup.
The two-seam fastball often is perceived to be slower than the four-seam fastball, but the slight pronation of the hand and off-center spin on the ball carries the ball down and toward the pitcher's dominant side, down and to the right for right-handers, and down and to the left for left-handers. | c4 |

Here’s how you can take care of sunburn if you have to deal with the consequences of spending too much time in the sun.
Your skin might feel hot and sensitive – don’t touch it. Gently put an cool gel pack on the inflamed area to help cool it down and decrease damage.
Take a cool or lukewarm shower and apply any hydrating skin product.
Every now and then, spritz thermal water on the affected area. This will also assist in the healing process.
Whatever you do, don’t take a hot bath or apply natural products from your kitchen. | c4 |

The more I read and learn about the most successful people who have ever lived, the more I find that many of them used some sort of visualization exercise to help them reach these optimum levels of performance and success.
Where do you want to be? What kind of “player” do you want to become?
Take 10-20 minutes this week to think about the one thing that is most important to you – great health, rewarding relationships, financial independence, etc. Write down exactly what that one thing will look like when you have achieved it. Then, for the next 30 days, read that description and visualize yourself as having already achieved that goal each day. After that, focus on getting there by taking one small step each of those 30 days in the direction of that goal.
If you want great health, perhaps you skip dessert after dinner or take a short walk after a meeting.
If you want rewarding relationships, perhaps you buy a small gift for someone you care about or compliment a stranger on the street.
If you want financial independence, perhaps you put a few dollars aside in savings or read a short personal finance article online.
These actions don’t need to cost you a lot of money or much time at all. By just making a daily commitment to (1) review and visualize your goal and (2) take a small step toward that goal, you will develop the habits and mindset you need to make it a reality in your life. | c4 |

What if I die shortly after selling my policy?
If you die at any time up to the 15th day after you receive the money from the provider, the settlement contract will automatically cancel (up to 30 days in some states) .
The provider will pay the owner of your policy or beneficiaries designated by the owner in the life settlement contract any proceeds it receives from your policy, minus any money it already paid for the purchase of your policy and any premiums it paid to the insurance company to keep your policy current. The insurance company or the provider should refund any unearned premiums paid. | c4 |

More than half of South Koreans believe their national football team will fail to advance from the group stage of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia, a poll showed Monday.
In a survey of 500 South Koreans aged 19 or older by Realmeter, 54.7 percent said they didn't think South Korea would survive Group F. South Korea will open their campaign later Monday against Sweden, and will face Mexico on Saturday and Germany on June 27.
At 57th in the world, South Korea are the lowest-ranked team among the four and are widely considered the biggest underdogs in Group F.
In the poll, 37.7 percent said South Korea will make it past the group stage. Of those, 27.4 percent said South Korea will be eliminated in the round of 16, and 6 percent said the team will reach the quarterfinals.

In the United States of America Mother's Day was first suggested in the year 1872 by Julia Ward Howe who wrote the words to the Battle hymn of the Republic as a day dedicated to peace. She would hold an organized Mother's Day meeting in Boston, Massachusetts every year.
It wasn't until in 1907 when Anna Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.
She and several of her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their endeavour to establish a national Mother's Day. In 1910, the governor of West Virginia proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day and a year later every state celebrated it. It was successful as by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May. | c4 |

Donald Trump Jr., the middle segment of a human centipede, has never been one for thinking.
If that defense sounds familiar, it’s because the token black friend excuse is the oldest, worst anti-racism argument in the book.

Let’s put that theory to the test right now.

In the 20-year cohort of American young people who were born in the years from 1998 through 2017 — and will start turning 21 next year — 37.8 percent were born to unmarried mothers, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
To put that in perspective, the CDC data shows that among the 20-year cohort of Americans born from 1940 through 1959 — who started turning 21 in 1961 — only 4.1 percent were born to unmarried mothers.
In 1947, two years after World War II ended, 3,669,940 babies were born in the United States, according to the CDC. Only 131,900 — or 3.6 percent — were born to unmarried mothers.
Seven decades later, in 2017, 3,855,500 babies were born in the United States. Of these babies, 1,533,901 — or 39.8 percent — were born to unmarried mothers.
Among the 100,538,871 born in the 25 years from 1993 through 2017, 36,913,140 — or 36.7 percent — were born to unmarried mothers.
Among the 120,823,472 born in the 30 years from 1988 through 2017, 42,617,637 — or 35.3 percent — were born to unmarried mothers.
By contrast, 109,066,004 babies were born in the 30 years from 1940 through 1969, and only 5,761,400 — or 5.3 percent — were born to unmarried mothers.
In the past two years on record — 2016 and 2017 — it has dipped slightly to 39.8 percent.
In 2013, fortunately, the number of babies aborted dipped below a million to 958,700. In 2014, the number dropped to 926,190 — which, sadly, was still more than the 744,600 in 1973. | c4 |

I’m always bumping into other umbrellas, splashing water on myself, or getting stuck in doorways as I try to close the thing! I’ve also come close to losing an eyeball from other pedestrians that pay no attention as to where the spikes of their umbrellas are pointing.
Now this gentleman certainly seems to have the art mastered, and he can do it while checking his cell phone! | c4 |

Before you decide on a certain type of trailer to purchase, you will have to consider what your specific needs are. There are going to be a lot of different trailers to look over before a final decision can be made, and the best way to go about doing this research is by going online. By spending some time browsing the web, you will be able to get some idea as to which trailer you want to get and where you should buy it from. One of the most important things to consider is the size of the trailer that you need.
Those who are in need of a new trailer will want to determine what exactly they are going to be transporting most of the time, whether it is motorcycles or ATVs. Once you have established this, you will be able to start looking for an appropriately-sized trailer that will match your needs exactly. In order to save a maximum amount of money on one of these trailers, it might be a good idea to go online and look at some of the local listings that people put up for certain things they are trying to sell, including trailers. | c4 |

In a divided world, where the one who shouts the loudest often gets the most attention, a story about compromise and listening. "Standing UP!" "Lying DOWN!" What were the people to do? They decided to ask the rabbi of the town. What are we to do? they asked. Shall we put the mezuzah standing up or lying down? The townspeople have mezuzahs but cannot agree on how to put them up on their doorways. Should they place them horizontally or vertically, standing up or lying down? To end their arguing, they consult the wise rabbi of the town, who advises them to carefully read the Shema in the mezuzah to find the answer. With this lively tale, based on a twelfth-century rabbinic debate, best-selling, award-winning children's author Sandy Eisenberg Sasso helps young people discover that there is often more than one solution to a problem, and that living together and creating home requires cooperation and listening to one another. | c4 |

Though the sciences cannot answer philosophical questions, individual scientists have to take sides on the right answers to them. The positions scientists take on answers to philosophical questions determine the questions they consider answerable by science and choose to address, as well as the methods they employ to answer them. Sometimes scientists take sides consciously. More often they take sides on philosophical questions by their very choice of question, and without realizing it. | c4 |
Cactus wrens (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus) build bulky, domed nests with a tunnel-shaped entrance in cactus (especially cholla) or thorn trees. Although conspicuous, their nests are inaccessible to predators because they are surrounded by sharp thorns (hence the other common name for the cactus wren, desert thorn bird).
A cactus wren nest is constructed of coarse grasses and plant fibers. Inside, the 2 to 5 white to pale pink eggs, heavily spotted with brown, are incubated by the female. While the female broods the eggs, the male builds several extra nests. Once the original eggs have hatched, the female chooses another nest in which to lay a second clutch of eggs. The male tends to the newborn chicks while the female incubates the second (or third) batch of eggs.
Why do cactus wrens build several nests, called dummy nests? The answer is not certain, however, having a new nest available as soon as the first clutch of eggs hatches enables the cactus wren to raise more young. Extra nests may fool predators. Adult cactus wrens also use unoccupied nests to roost at night, providing shelter and protection.
Walking along an arroyo near Casa Paloma 2 in Green Valley AZ, where this cactus wren and nest were photographed, almost every cholla seems to harbor a cactus wren nest.

After the thing it loves."
An ode to Shakespeare's motherless daughters.
Mama, Mama, can you hear me?
In a game I cannot play.
I don’t believe the words I say.
Feels like it might be my last.
You are somehow at my side.
Why’d I die so early, Mama?
Was I such an awful bride?
Body cold, and cast aside?
Daughters held in iron fist.
Why is it that I exist?
Growing into what men fear.
No one’s ever held shrews dear.
Slave to father’s cruel intents.
Why is loving an offense?
Why it is my word’s so weak?
Didn’t they want mild and meek?
Not a soul will hear me speak.
“I am mistress of my fate”.
Any day could be too late.
Else my death will be decreed.
No one knows where they may lead.
Mama, Mama, can you hear us?
Trying to stay strong, stay true.
Always we will think of you.
I give you serious kudos if you got them all right. It's easy to get obtuse in poetry. | c4 |
This recipe starts out on the stove and finishes in the oven in three easy steps. A delicious sauce is made when deglazing the cast iron pan.
Rinse trout in cold water and blot trout with paper towels. Rub with oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tuck 3 or 4 orange slices and 3 sprigs of dill into each cavity.
Preheat cast iron pan (or oven proof skillet) and add enough canola oil to generously coat the pan.
When the oil is hot, fry the trout over high heat for 2 minutes. Lower heat to medium-high and cook another 60 seconds or until the skin is crisp and browned.
Carefully flip the trout over. Fry for 3 minutes and then transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake another 5 minutes.
Remove fish from pan and pour off any excess oil.
Return skillet the burner over medium-high heat and add the butter. Tilt the pan and with a spoon, quickly and repeatedly baste the trout with the melting butter (approximately 20 seconds).
Remove the trout and place on warm plates. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice until the sauce reduced slightly. Drizzle over fish and serve. | c4 |
