Q: This will help bring your character to life. Define fundamentals like your age, where you're from and where you're going. Are you on a mission? Who are your parents? Do you have a significant other or children? If so, where are they? Are you wealthy or poor? Do you work or practice a trade? Does your character have a destiny? Establishing the basic elements of a character's backstory is incredibly important, but you can get far more detailed and specific if you'd like. The backstory can be as rich as you desire. Avoid basing your character's personality traits on your own, which is a common pitfall. The experience is much richer if you create traits objectively. Ask yourself questions like: Is your character good, evil, or a complicated mix of both? How about aggressive or defensive? Brave? Kind? Is your character impulsive or does he or she act with common sense? Is he/she charming? Despicable? Trustworthy? Allow your character to have flaws. The game will be more interesting when your character is realistic and imperfect. During a game, your character will be faced with one situation after another, and each situation will require a choice. These choices dictate where the game goes. You will need to define what your character's motives are in order to make appropriate and realistic choices. For example, imagine a character who has run away from home after being shunned by his father for being a thief. He meets a group of distinguished adventurers in a tavern and is invited to join them. He must make a decision. After being shamed by his father, the character wants to gain some prestige and respect so that he can return home one day unashamed. This is his motive. It would make sense for this character to choose to join this group of adventurers, since it could provide opportunities to gain respect and redeem himself. As the game progresses, your character gains knowledge and experience by going through trials, defeating enemies, overcoming challenges and completing quests. These events should contribute to the development of your character in a realistic way. For example, after defeating a string of enemies, it would make sense for your character to feel more empowered, make bolder choices and take on challenges that he/she wouldn't have tried at the beginning of the game. Think about how new knowledge, experience, and skills might influence your character's choices moving forward.
A: Develop a background story for your character. Define the personality traits of your character. Know your character's motives. Ensure that your character continually develops.

Article: Watch the ball starting from the bowler's hand and don't take your eyes off it as it travels down the pitch. Try to envision catching it at different possible angles as it comes towards you. Don't worry if you make mistakes. Let them go and refocus yourself on every new ball. Squat down with your weight on your toes and lean forward slightly with your hands on the ground. Face your palms forward towards the ball. This will allow you to come up under the ball and receive it at any speed. You won't know what the ball is going to do until it bounces. Stay down low until the ball bounces, then come up with it to catch it at the right height. This will help you avoid missing balls that roll low along the ground instead of bouncing up higher. Drive your head towards the ball when you have to dive for it and keep your fingers pointing down. This will allow your eyes and brain to process the best way to catch the ball. When you land after diving for a ball, straighten your elbow if it was a low catch. Bend your elbow, tuck it under your body, and roll for higher catches so you don't land on your elbow. You can practice your diving technique on a mattress at home or on mats at cricket practice to get it down. Use ramps that deflect balls at different angles and practice catching them at close range to improve your reaction times. Use tennis balls to make it even more difficult. If you want to focus more on your reaction speed, then train with faster throws. If you want to focus more on your catching technique, then train with slower throws. You can incorporate these training drills into each cricket practice or into your personal training sessions as well if you have a partner to help you.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Keep your eyes on the ball. Get in a strong, low position before each ball. Rise up from the crouching position only as the ball bounces. Lead with your head when diving. Practice catching with drills.

Q: LinkedIn is at its best when you know exactly what you want to do, and just need to find the right people to talk to. Spend the most time making sure your profile has a concrete list of your achievements and notes the special skills, qualifications, publications and such that you have. If you have been quoted in the press, have a patent, or have a similar "wow" in your background, state it on your profile. Lying on a resume is never a good idea, but it is worse in LinkedIn. Potential employers can use your own LinkedIn connections to check up on you. Do not worry too much about filling out the recommendations and skills on your LinkedIn profile. Employers pretty much discount recommendations as being sappy and always positive. The skills are only useful for keyword searches. Building out your profile with the right skills can on occasion make highly qualified jobs come to you, instead of the usual other way around. It is still unlikely to get hit up out of the blue for a job, but it can happen. It mostly happens to people who have specific skills an employer is looking for. You can simply go to the Jobs tab on LinkedIn to find jobs that may fit your preferences. LinkedIn job postings are helpful, and you should look for them. Compared to free message boards, they tend to have higher quality jobs, and it is very unlikely that you would find anything unsavory or dangerous. Still, they are "just a job board." LinkedIn searching is best if you have a specific skill that an employer is hiring for. You may find an employer looking for someone exactly like you. Job seeker premium is best for helping you find specific people and/or specific companies. It costs between USD$20 - USD$50 per month. Job seeker premium lets you see the names of people at companies you might be interested in. Better yet, it lets you contact them directly via LinkedIn messaging (known as InMail.) LinkedIn gives you only a few of these premium messages a month, so it is useful if you know exactly what you are looking for. The other benefits of Job Seeker premium are not as helpful. Getting a badge as a Featured Applicant can actually be counterproductive, since recruiters might see it as you being desperate. So, again, better if you are looking for a specific position rather than just looking around. If you are looking for a job where there are a large number of people with similar skills (example: sales, office manager, CPA), you may find LinkedIn less effective. For these kinds of less specific jobs, the key to using LinkedIn is to target specific companies you might want to work for, or use it to find people in your network to contact.
A:
Know when LinkedIn can help you find a job. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is accurate, updated, and showing you in the best light. Know that an up-to-date profile can bring the jobs to you. Find jobs posted on LinkedIn. Consider signing up for LinkedIn Job Seeker premium. Use LinkedIn differently for jobs that are less specific.
