How to Write a Media Advisory (4 Steps)


Print the advisory on company or organization letterhead. This gives greater credibility to your advisory and immediately identifies who is hosting the event. While you're typing, leave room at the top of your document for the letterhead.
Type the words 'MEDIA ADVISORY' at the top of the page in all caps. Follow this with contact information for the person the media can speak with for more information. Include the person's name, title, phone number and email address.
Create a catchy headline that grabs the reporter's attention and accurately conveys the event's main idea. Use strong verbs and avoid unnecessary adjectives or filler words.
Cover all the important details of the event. Answer the main questions, such as: what the event is; where it's being held; who's sponsoring it and who will attend; what will happen; what the main events are; and, most importantly, why the media should be there to cover it. Explain whether there will be photo opportunities. Describe any subjects who will be available for one-on-one interviews.

How to Use Netplay With SNES9x


Open the SNES9x emulator.
Click on the 'Netplay' dropdown menu at the top of the screen.
If you want to host the game session, click 'Act As Server.' If you are the server, you should let the person that you are playing with know your IP address so that he can connect to your computer.
If someone else is hosting the session, click 'Connect To Server...'. This will bring up a small window where you can enter the IP address of the host. There will also be another box where you can enter a port number, but the default port number that is already there should work for you.
After you are connected, you or the person you are playing with can start an old-school game of your choosing.

How to Hold a Trivia Night


Develop an outline or format for your trivia game. There are endless options when designing your own trivia game. Common trivia games will have about four rounds with ten or so questions in each round. To decide how many rounds or questions you want your game to include, figure out how long you want the game to last. If you only have an hour to complete the whole game, you will want to structure it with less rounds or questions.
Establish rules for game play. Because trivia questions are typically open ended, it is important to specify the rules for acceptable answers ahead of time. For example, if the answer to a trivia question is a person's name, will just the last name be accepted or does the team need to know the full name? You should develop rules associated to the actual game play as well. These can include the time given to answer the questions, the types of technology not permitted, and how score is kept.
Select the questions. Before actually writing each question, you should decide whether you want your trivia game to be specific to one topic, such as sports or movies, or a compilation of many topics. In addition to writing the number of questions specified by your format, you should also set aside some tiebreaker and bonus questions.
Write instruction guidelines for each table or group. Even if you plan on announcing your game instructions and rules, it is always helpful to have some guidelines at each table during the game to serve as reminders for the players. For games with more rules and specifications for acceptable answers, the necessity and benefit of written guidelines is greater.
Collect your inventory. At minimum, most trivial games require a pen and paper for each table and something to keep time. Other common objects may include a bell or whistle to signal the end of the allotted answering time, a scoreboard, and prizes for the winners.
Invite your attendees and play. With the game rules established and the inventory assembled, all that is left is to play and have fun.
