INPUT ARTICLE: Article: During each of your turns, you may either move or attack an opponent’s piece. You may not do both. If you find yourself in a position where you cannot move or attack, then you have lost the game and must announce your defeat to your opponent. Take turns moving your pieces in vertical or horizontal directions. Pieces may not move in a diagonal direction. Pieces may only move one space, except for the Scouts which can move an unlimited distance. Just keep in mind that because only scouts can move more than one space per turn, moving a scout more than one space will reveal its identity to your opponent and may cause your opponent to attack that piece.  Pieces cannot jump over the lake or over other pieces. They also may not occupy the same space as another piece.  Pieces cannot move back and forth between the same two spaces over three consecutive turns. Attack your opponent’s pieces to reduce his or her numbers and capture your opponent’s Flag. You may only attack pieces that are directly next to your pieces. They may not be a space away or diagonal to one of your pieces. They must be right next to each other in a vertical or horizontal direction.  When you attack your opponent (or your opponent attacks you) you must both announce the rank of your piece that attacked (or was attacked). Whatever piece has the highest ranking wins the fight. Remove the losing piece from the board. If both pieces have the same rank, then remove both pieces from the board. Place captured pieces in the tray as you play. Doing so will help to keep them organized for future games. Place the winning piece on the space that was occupied by the losing piece. Some pieces have special attack privileges that make them capable of attacking more powerful pieces. Make sure that you observe these special attack privileges as you play the game.  The Spy can capture the Marshal if the Spy attacks first. If the Spy is attacked by the Marshal, then the Spy is captured instead. Scouts can move and attack on the same turn. No other pieces can do both in the same turn Miners can disarm Bomb pieces. All other pieces must be removed from the board if they attack a Bomb piece. Whoever captures his or her opponent’s Flag first wins the game. But you may also win the game if your opponent reaches a point where he or she cannot make any more moves. For example, if all of the player’s moveable pieces have been captured or blocked, then that player would lose the game.

SUMMARY: Understand how gameplay works. Move your pieces. Attack your opponent’s pieces. Observe the special attack privileges of certain pieces. Win by capturing your opponent’s Flag or all of your opponent’s moveable pieces.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One way to develop an appreciation for cinema is to watch a lot of different ones. For example, IMDB has compiled a list of moves that all cinephiles should watch. Set up a weekly schedule to make sure you watch this many movies the next 12 months.  For example, you could make a goal of watching two films per week. You could follow the IMBD list, or compile your own list. The goal is to become familiar with many different kinds of movies. Make sure that when making your list of movies, you select ones you wouldn’t normally watch. This is similar to when you are in school and must read books that you would never have picked out. It is an important part of being a well-rounded cinephile.  For example, if you tend to watch only romantic comedies that everyone knows about, watch some foreign films that few have heard of. Be sure to include films from the past as well as the present. Learning how film has changed over the years also makes you well-rounded. For example, the job of a film critic is not to like or dislike a film, but to analyze how well it is executed based on a set of standards. View a film with an eye for criticism rather than personal taste. Just as art majors must study the history of art in order to understand modern art, cinephiles should study film history to gain a well-rounded perspective on modern film. Watching the silent film The Great Train Robbery can help you appreciate how much film has changed.  You should also watch great historic films like Casablanca, Citizen Kane, or Psycho. Take film classes in college or community centers to learn what others view as important historical film. There are important eras of film just as there are important eras in history. Understanding film eras can help you understand the social context of each film, deepening your appreciation. For example, the silent film era is important for its differences in sound and cinematography from modern film. It is common to study films by decade, such as 1950s films and 1960s movies. It is also essential to grasp the concept of film genres. Just as there are genres of great literature, there are genres of film. You might study action films, adventure movies, and so on. Other genres include comedy, crime, horror, science fiction, and westerns. Film festivals occur all over the world and offer a wide assortment of movies. You can watch the films in theaters during the festival and discuss them afterward with fellow critics and cinephiles. This is a way to increase your knowledge base in just a few days.  The Sedona International Film Festival occurs in Sedona, Arizona, and the famous Sundance Film Festival occurs in cities all over the world.

SUMMARY: Set a goal to watch 100 great films in a year. Pick up movies you wouldn’t usually watch. Watch important historic films. Understand film eras. Learn about genres. Go to film festivals.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add 1 cup (237 ml) of water and 3 tablespoons (57 g) of sweetened condensed milk to a separate medium saucepan. Mix the two together well so they’re fully combined. When the water and condensed milk are mixed, sprinkle 2 (1 oz./28 g) envelopes of unflavored gelatin over the mixture. Allow it to sit for 2 to 3 minutes so the gelatin has time to soak. After the gelatin has soaked for a couple of minutes, place the pan on the stove. Heat the mixture on medium, and whisk the ingredients together until they’re combined. Continue heating the mixture until the gelatin dissolves, which should take about 5 minutes. Once the gelatin is dissolved, remove the pan from the heat. Add 1 cup (237 ml) of cold vanilla vodka and mix it in well. Set the pan aside for the moment.  You can substitute plain vodka or even more peppermint schnapps for the vanilla vodka if you prefer. Make sure the spot where you leave the pan isn’t too cold. You don’t want the mixture to set up yet.

SUMMARY:
Combine the water and condensed milk. Add the gelatin to the condensed milk mixture and let it sit. Heat the mixture and mix it together. Stir in the vodka and set aside.
