Softball rules vary somewhat from those of baseball.Two major differences are that the ball must be pitched underhandâfrom 46 ft. (14 m) for men or 43 ft(13.1 m) for women as compared with 60.5 ft.

Elkonin boxes are an instructional method used in the early elementary grades to build phonological awareness by segmenting words into individual sounds. They are named after D.B. Elkonin, the Russian psychologist who pioneered their use. The boxes are squares drawn on a piece of paper or a chalkboard, with one box for each sound or phoneme.
Saponins comprise polycyclic aglycones. The sapogenin or the aglycone part is either a triterpene or steroid. The combination of sapogenin, hydrophobic or fat-soluble, hydrophilic or water-soluble sugar part enhances the foaming ability of saponins. Some toxic saponins are known as sapotoxin. Saponins are basically phyto-chemicals which are found in most of the vegetables, beans and herbs. The well known sources of saponins are soybeans, peas, and some herbs with the names that indicate foaming properties such as soapwort, soapberry, soapbark and soap root.
