In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A baseball pass is used if you want to throw the basketball far down the court to an open teammate. Take the basketball in on hand and bring it slightly behind your head, above your shoulder. Step with your non-dominant foot and throw with your dominant hand, much like you would with a baseball.  Baseball passes can easily be knocked out of your hand because you do not have full control over the ball. Only use a baseball pass if you really need your basketball to go the extra distance. One of the drawbacks from a traditional overhead or chest pass is that you need to set up for the passes which gives the defender a clue on what you are doing. Dribble passes are ones that are made by transitioning from dribbling right into a pass without setting up for a chest or overhead pass. As your ball comes up when you are dribbling, instead of holding it and setting up, push the ball toward your teammate as it is coming up from the ground.  You do not have much control with this pass, so make sure to practice it before trying it in a game. Step forward and follow through just as you would with any other pass. The foot you are stepping forward with should be on the same side of your body as the hand you're throwing the pass with. A behind-the-back pass is thrown by gripping the ball in one hand and wrapping your arm around your back. This is one of the most difficult passes to throw, and should only be used if you practice it enough. Square your hips as you normally would with one leg forward. Using the arm on the same side, bring the ball behind your back and snap your wrist so the pass gets distance.  Don't look at the teammate you plan on passing it to or else you will give yourself away, and the defender may know your attempting to throw a behind-the-back pass.  This is a pass that's used if there's a defender that is right in your face. It is harder to control the accuracy of this pass since it's being performed behind your back, so you may turn the ball over.
Summary: Throw an overhead pass with one hand for a baseball pass. Throw a pass as the ball comes up from a dribble for a dribble pass. Toss the ball from behind your back for a behind-the-back pass.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first step to investing is to have available investment capital in a single liquid account.  Invest only capital you can afford to lose. The prices of equity securities are volatile, moving up and down in response to supply and demand. Investing in foreign securities is considered more risky than investments in U.S. companies due to lesser regulation and reporting requirements. In mid-2015, China’s stock market crashed, and although it has stabilized some, remains somewhat volatile. If you are considering investing in Chinese stock, be aware of this volatility. The vast majority of investors and traders cannot get involved in economic plays on China without a professional broker or brokerage firm. Consider the big online brokerage firms. Several such companies offer easy, accessible trading in stocks and bonds. This is the easiest way to start up an investment portfolio that includes Chinese securities. Choose which kinds of investments seem the most practical. The beginning investor has several very different options at his or her disposal:  Consider single-stock investments. One simple way to invest in China is to buy single Chinese stocks through online brokerage platforms or the Forex market, a global market serving international traders. Your broker may be unable to purchase specific Chinese stocks because they will likely have to act through an intermediary. However, you can set up a trading account with a Chinese brokerage to get better access.  Evaluate different mutual funds and other fund offers. Mutual funds are actively managed and combine a variety of equities and securities in different ways to pursue specific kinds of gains. Look closely at available mutual funds or exchange traded funds. ETF shares are typically less expensive to own than mutual funds, can be traded throughout the market day (unlike mutual funds), and operate more like an index (they are not actively managed). Where mutual funds come with management fees and expenses, ETFs can often be bought for a single low commission, just like a single stock. Chinese real estate investment trusts (REITs) are expected to be available to the public soon, even though government regulations have held them back thus far. A REIT allows an investor to invest in a managed fund that buys income-producing properties. This gives the investor the chance to invest in real estate with less risk. Invest in an American company that is expanding to, or already operates, in China. There are many U.S. companies that have expanded to serve the Chinese market. One great example includes Yum! Brands, which encompasses several well-known restaurants such as Taco Bell and KFC. The advantage of investing this way is that you have the security of investing in a U.S. regulated company that also takes advantage of the economic growth potential that exists in China. Before buying any specific type of investment, do some careful research by reading through available prospectuses, fund reports or other documentation. Looking at the earnings, market capitalization and moving averages for a stock will help provide a better analysis of exactly what the investor is getting into and whether big gains may be in the future. Some of this information may not be available, as securities regulations in China are less sophisticated and reliable than those in the U.S. After formally buying into funds, stocks or other financial products centered on Chinese economic growth, be sure to keep tracking the investments using available charts and other resources to monitor investments for eventual sale. Good selling is just as important as good buying for realizing actual gains.
Summary:
Get together all of your available capital. Find a broker. Explore different investment options. Analyze potential investments. Keep track.
