Pay special attention to any repeated themes or ideas your interviewee brought up. If there’s something they really wanted to get across, that should be highlighted in your summary. If you’ve interviewed more than one person at once, make sure you have each answer attributed to the correct person. Make notes of how they behaved, their temperament, their background, and any other points relevant to who they are. Think about what they actually said, rather than your interpretation....

Things like picture books and stories with only a few words are usually for ages 2 to 6. Middle graders are generally ages 8 to 11. These would be stories targeted at mid-elementary school and early middle school. If you want to write for very young children, you can consider doing a picture book or a baby book. Pick a genre that interests you. You’re unlikely to stick with a project if you do not enjoy the genre....

A dramatic monologue usually occurs when a character is facing an extreme crisis, a dramatic moment in the plot, or a “do-or-die” situation where simple actions can no longer suitably convey the immense feeling or desire the character is dealing with. An effective dramatic monologue should express the goal, agenda, or backstory of the speaker. It can also try to enlist the support of other characters or the audience, or attempt to change the hearts and minds of the audience or the listener....

Notepad can be accessed on any version of Windows using ⊞ Win + R > Notepad. TextEdit can be accessed on Mac by going to Applications > TextEdit. The code should look something like <?php echo “Hello World!”; ?>. In Notepad, add . php to the end of the filename and enclose in double quotations. This ensures the file will not be converted into a basic text file by Notepad. Without the quotation marks, the file will become hello world....

Tagovailoa, who has 2,166 yards, 27 passing touchdowns and two interceptions this season, is 21-1 as a starter and has led the Crimson Tide back to the top of the AP Top 25, Coaches Poll and Sporting News top 25. That injury, however, has potential ripple effects that will affect not only this week’s game against Arkansas, but also the SEC West picture, the SEC championship game, the Heisman Trophy race and, of course, the College Football Playoff picture....

Druckmann believes that gamers like to argue with each other over with Uncharted title is the best, and that giving them different elements in each game helps make every title feel unique despite the familiarity most players have with Nathan Drake at this point. Druckmann wanted gamers to have the ability to start the story how they want to, an important honor given that the adventure in Uncharted 4 will be Nathan Drake’s last....

But studies now suggest that this may not be the case. There is, in fact, growing evidence that the use of e-cigarettes⁠ (vaping) can not only make asthma harder to control but may actually contribute to the development of the disease in those who don’t yet have it. Increased Symptoms and Asthma Attacks Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by acute episodes of airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways)....

How bad is that? Not as bad as it may seem on paper. David Shambaugh, a China expert at the University of London, wrote recently that “there is more hype than reality in assessments of Chinese military modernization.” The PLA is dangerous because it has nuclear weapons and because the generals seem to have slipped the bonds of civilian control. But China’s armed forces still are not capable of invading Taiwan, and they are making little progress–none at all, some experts think–in closing a huge technology gap that keeps them backward....

Every team has equipped themselves with new signings, except for Tottenham Hotspur. In this article, we will review every Top 6 team’s most likely starting 11, along with an analysis and their chance of winning the Premier League. Disclaimer: This article puts forth the views of the author. #6 Manchester United As we have been constantly reminded this summer, it is Jose Mourinho’s 3rd season in charge at Old Trafford, the season in which he always collapses....

Having been brought into the Gunners side for the final weeks of his reign by Arsene Wenger, the Greek youngster has impressed during his limited outings to date. He was, however, to pick up an early dismissal in a 3-1 defeat at Leicester, with Arsenal struggling once again on their travels when reduced to 10 men. Mavropanos will now be forced to wait until 2018-19 for his next appearance, as he starts an untimely ban, by which time the Gunners will have a new manager at the helm and potentially more defensive competition alongside him....

The Rose Bowl’s place in history is not lost yet. It’s where bowl games originated in 1902. It’s where the BCS ended when Florida State beat Auburn 34-31 last year. It’s fitting it’s the site of the first College Football Playoff semifinal between the Seminoles and Oregon. Rose Bowl Stadium won’t be host to another playoff semifinal until January 2018. It’s as if “The Grandaddy of Them All” is being asked to start looking at a retirement plan....

Formation: 4-4-2 Goalkeeper: Subrata Pal India’s number one is still regarded the best goalkeeper in the country despite an inconsistent club campaign for Prayag United last season. Subrata is one of the marquee Indian players of this project and thus will certainly be a wanted man at the auctions. At 26, the former East Bengal and Pune FC goalkeeper is nearing his peak so IMG-R will be delighted to have him on board....

And now that Xbox is transitioning from Xbox One to Xbox Series X, it’s time for Microsoft to improve on the achievement experience yet again. There are a number of ways it could accomplish this, all of which would be solid quality-of-life improvements that would greatly enhance the achievement hunting experience and make them an even more worthwhile endeavor.

Long before Reddit became the front page of the internet or Quora was the go-to answer forum, Yahoo Answers provided an entire generation with a sense of community through shared questions. Though the service experienced both good and bad times, experts say this truly marks the end of an internet era. “Yahoo Answers were a remnant of a time that is already well behind us; a time when search results weren’t Google search results by default when they were a lifelike mix of human knowledge, curiosity, and ignorance,” wrote Mark Coster, owner and chief editor of STEM Toy Expert, to Lifewire in an email....

The game’s narrative is shrouded in mystery, and Zelda has had enough entries to have generated a long list of characters, locations, and enemies that could return in 2023. However, the Nintendo world of Hyrule has a strong relationship with religion, so it would be a great opportunity to bring the Goddess Hylia closer to the series’ main story than ever before. Her role in the IP is important, though her presence always seems to be either fleeting or non-existent....

It is for this reason that diagnosis is imperative for pregnant people who may have been exposed to the Zika virus through a mosquito bite. Moreover, because the virus can be passed from males to females during sex, the test—comprised of a combination of blood and urine tests—can identify an infected partner and possibly prevent transmission. Indications for Testing Getting bitten by a mosquito, even in an area where the Zika virus is endemic, does not necessarily mean that you have been infected....

Smith’s day started off well enough. He hit the game’s first bucket on a reverse layup after sealing off Kansas center Joel Embiid. The next trip down the court, Smith posted up Embiid again, this time hitting a cutting Nate Lubick for a running layup. Two possessions later, Smith hit another layup. But as followers of college basketball have seen from Smith all too often throughout his college career, sustaining a high level of production remains a challenge for the UCLA transfer....

That’s where the 17in laptop comes in, although popular devices from the likes of Gigabyte, Asus and Razer are all specifically designed for gaming. But what if you’re looking for a suitable device for live blogging, graphic design or photo and video editing? HP’s Envy 17 is one of the few creator-focused options available, maintaining the sleek design and premium build we’ve come to associate with the Envy line. The 2021 update is a relatively minor refresh, although there are some key points worth highlighting....
