Article: The change-up is a slower pitch that throws batters off-guard when expecting another fast-ball. Hold the ball completely in your palm, letting your each finger rest on the laces, and skip the finger snap when following through, instead leaving your hand open. This is often the first special pitch you should learn after the fastball. The aim of the pitch is to make the ball sink on the batter. Grip the ball with your fingers aligned with the laces, instead of across them like you would on a fastball. Keeping your elbow a little more rigid than normal, flick your wrist and follow through like as if you were throwing a basic pitch. You need the same grip as a drop pitch -- fingers aligned with the laces, not across. Curveballs move down and sideways, making them tricky for a batter to track and hit. Your throwing motion is nearly the exact same as a fastball, but you twist your wrist (counter-clockwise for righties, clockwise for lefties) as you release the ball. This causes the ball to spin sideways as it travels. The hardest pitch to throw, this ball will come up towards the batter, making it incredibly hard to hit. The goal is a pitch that has top-spin so that the bottom of the ball rotates towards the top. To throw it:  Put your middle and ring finger in between the laces, at the point where they start to come towards each other. Dig the tip of your index finger into the side of the ball. Begin your normal fastball motion, but keep your palm facing down as you come around behind your back. As you release, quickly turn your hand so that your palm faces up, as if you were turning a doorknob. Release the ball early so that it has time to rise. Remember that this is the hardest pitch to throw, and may take upwards of a year to perfect.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Throw a change-up by following through without snapping your fingers. Throw a drop pitch by gripping the ball along the laces. Throw a curveball by rotating your wrist as you release. Throw a "rise ball" with a special grip and release.

Problem: Article: Local family farms are usually organic and have better produce. Sourcing your food locally also supports the farmers near you, which benefits your community. Farms that let their animals roam are more humane, and have a smaller number of animals, which lowers carbon emissions. When there are fewer animals, the farms also tend to raise the animals antibiotic-free. Antibiotic-free meat is better for everyone, since it keeps bacteria from becoming resistant to antibiotics, which can be a health risk. Composting cuts down on the amount of garbage that’s sent to landfills, and can provide a natural fertilizer for home gardens. Have your guests help clear up meals to speed through clean-up. Compost is a mix of brown, dry materials, greens (usually food scraps and yard clippings), and water, that break down together in a pile or bin. If you have a home garden, composting provides a chemical-free way of fertilizing your plants.
Summary: Buy produce from local farmers. Buy meat that was raised free-range and antibiotic-free. Compost your food scraps.

Characteristics should include weights, grades and measurements of components. The color grade of the gemstone should be determined by using comparison gemstones. If any atypical treatments were conducted on your gemstone or if your gemstone is untreated, this should be noted on the appraisal.   The value depends on whether you want to insure your jewelry for its actual cash value, its replacement value or its agreed value.  Cash value is the value of your jewelry at today’s market rate, not at the purchase price. Replacement value means the insurer will pay you a specific amount according to its current market value at the time of the loss. Agreed value means that you and your insurer settle on a specific value that you will receive in the event of a loss.  If your appraisal is for an insurer, then your appraiser should use one of the following forms from the Jewelry Insurance Standards Organization:  JISO 805—Jewelry Sales Receipt for Insurance Purposes. This form is used when you are purchasing jewelry and can be completed by the retailer who sold the jewelry to you. JISO 806—Jewelry Document for Insurance Purposes. This form is used when you’re obtaining a second appraisal. JISO 78—Jewelry Insurance Appraisal—Single Item. This form must be completed by a Certified Insurance Appraiser and is a highly detailed description of the item. JISO 79—Jewelry Insurance Appraisal—Multiple Items. This form is also completed by a Certified Insurance Appraiser and is used for the valuation of multiple items of jewelry.
