Q: The headline should grab the reader's attention and give them a taste of what the article is about. A good rule of thumb is to tell the reader the "what" and "where" in the headline. Keep the headline short and clear, perhaps as brief as 4-5 words. For example, you may create a headline like, "Teen Girl Missing in Okotoks" or "Congress Stalls on Family Planning Bill." In some cases, it may be easier to save the headline for last, after you have written the article, so you know what the focus of the article is and can sum it up clearly. The lead, also spelled "lede," contains the story's most essential details. The lead should briefly answer, "Who," "What," "When," "Where," "Why," and "How" for the reader. It should also hook the reader in and encourage them to keep reading. For example, you may write a lead like, "An outbreak of flu in San Francisco has led to 3 elementary school closings this week, according to school officials." Or, "A missing girl originally from Okotoks was found Monday in an abandoned cabin in the Minnetonka area, according to local police." Readers should be able to skim through the first section in the article and get the necessary information about the topic. Provide current, up to date information about the topic in the first 1-2 paragraphs of the article. This is known as the inverted pyramid approach. For example, you may write, "10-12 students have been diagnosed with the flu and health officials fear it could continue to spread if it is not contained." This is where you answer the questions, "Why" and "How" in more detail, providing the reader with in-depth coverage. You may provide detailed background on the subject or briefly discuss a past timeline of events that relate to the topic or incident. Keep each paragraph to no more than 2-3 sentences so the reader can follow along easily. For example, you may write, "The teen girl was reported missing on Friday afternoon by her mother after she did not come home from a study date at a friend's house. She is the second girl to be reported missing in the past 2 weeks from the Okotoks area." Put at least 1 strong supporting quote in the first section of the article, as well as 1-2 more in the secondary sections of the article. Use quotes that support any information you provide that is not common knowledge. Stick to quotes that are short, clear, and informative for readers. Always attribute the quotes to a source when you include them in the article. For example, you may write, "'The girl is shaken, but does not appear to have any serious injuries,' stated local Police Chief Wilborn." Or you may write, "According to a statement by school officials, 'The shutdown will prevent the flu from spreading further and ensure the safety of our students.'" Avoid using long quotes or more than 4 quotes in the article, as the reader may get confused or lost if there are too many quotations. Wrap up the article by including a quote that feels impactful and leaves the reader with a sense of understanding. You can also include a link to an organization's website or event if the article focuses on the organization. For example, you may write, "The girl's mother expressed relief for her daughter and concern about her community, noting, 'I just hope no other girls go missing in this area.'" Or you may write, "Local health officials are urging parents to check the municipal health and wellness website, www.hw.org, for updates on when schools are able to reopen."
A: Create an engaging, informative headline. Open the article with a "lead" first sentence. Place information chronologically, starting with the most current, important details. Expand on key details in the rest of the article. Include at least 2-3 supporting quotations from sources. End with an informative quote or a link to more information.

Q: It's at the top of the window. Clicking it prompts a drop-down menu. You'll find this option in the Language drop-down menu. A pop-out menu will appear. It's in the pop-out menu. Batch is a modified version of the commands that you use in Command Prompt, so any Batch file will open in Command Prompt. Type @echo off into Notepad++ and press Enter. Type in Title text and press Enter, making sure to replace "text" with your preferred title. When you run the program, the title text is what will display at the top of the Command Prompt window. Type in echo text and press Enter. Replace "text" with whatever you want Command Prompt to display. For example, if you want Command Prompt to say "Humans are superior!", you'd type echo Humans are superior! into Notepad++. Type pause into Notepad++ to indicate the end of the program. It should look something like this: @echo off Title Improved Command Prompt echo Humans are superior! pause Click File, then click Save As... in the drop-down menu, enter a name for your program, select a save location, and click Save.

Q: Place 1 cups (210 g) of mixed berries, cup (118 ml) of coconut milk, 1 cup (237 ml) of filtered water, and cup (15 g) of rolled oats to the pitcher of a blender. You can also add some ice if you prefer cold smoothies. A mix of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries is best for a detox smoothie. They are full of antioxidants and fiber, so they can replenish your body and rid it of toxins at the same time. Be sure to rinse the berries before adding them to the smoothie. Pulse the blender several times times until all of the ingredients are broken down. Then turn the speed to low and gradually increase the speed to high for a total of 15 to 20 seconds blending time. You can make a larger batch of the smoothies to have servings for the future. Place the smoothie in an airtight container, and drink it within three days. The recipe makes enough for two smoothies. Divide the mixture between two glasses, and enjoy.
A: Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Blend the mixture until it has a thick, smooth consistency. Pour the smoothie into two glasses.

Q: This technique works great with rough or reclaimed wood. The finished product will look rustic, and will look like the wood of a barn. Because this technique is designed to create a rustic look, you almost never have to sand. The roughness of the wood actually adds to the final, barn-like, product. The wood does not need to be perfectly clean, but if it's very dirty, wash it with soapy water. Let it dry completely before you begin painting. It is best to pour the paint on the center of the wood. Start with a small amount, and add more if necessary. You can use any type of paint with this technique, although most people find latex paint the easiest to work with. Add water if the paint is too thick. Adding water will also make it easier to drag the paint across the wood. Spread the paint across the wood, into the grain, and let it soak into the grooves. If you want a light coat of paint, you can spread the paint out thinly. For more coverage, don't spread the paint as widely. Repeat this step to fill in blank areas. Let the piece sit overnight, and then check it. The paint may take longer to dry in areas where you applied thick layers of paint. Make sure it is completely dry, and not tacky to the touch, before you move the wood. If you want the wood to have more coverage, or a brighter finish, add more paint and scrape it across the wood. Add as many layers as you like, but remember that the more paint you apply, the less the wood will show through.
A:
Use the paint and drag technique to create a rustic look. Pour a small amount of paint directly onto the wood. Use a wide putty knife, or scraper to drag the paint across the wood. Let the wood dry for at least 12 hours. Repeat as necessary.
