Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize common formula used in 99% of horror films to get past the tension in them. Watch horror films with an eye for style over substance. Remember that the best horror movies are the ones that subvert, not conform, to your expectations. Know that your jumping or flinching is an evolutionary advantage worth keeping around.

Answer: Horror movies are a particularly formulaic genre, as anyone who has watched a lot of horror can attest. This means, however, that astute viewers can usually piece together the general arc of action and suspense. While this may "ruin" the scares a bit, it helps you realize that the scares in horror aren't real -- they are manufactured in a very similar way to get a very similar response from all viewers:   First is a scene meant to scare you immediately, such as the first victim or the release of the "evil" at the heart of the film.  Second comes establishment of characters and locations. This is usually the place of the first jump scare -- not the real villain or scare, but something to put you on edge.  Third comes the first death or scare, while people think things are still "normal" in the horror world. The jump scare usually coincides with this death, if there is one.  Fourth comes the worst/scariest part of the film -- the bodies mount up and the characters slowly realize that things are not looking good. Expect 1-2 more jump scares.  Fifth and finally comes the defeat of the villain (or is it?!), and this section is usually more action-heavy than the rest. There may be 1-2 jump scares, but they are usually easy to see coming. Because most horror films follow cookie-cutter plots, this isn't where most directors look for inspiration or originality. Horror is a very stylized, unrealistic genre that takes great creative leaps in lighting, costume design, sound/music, and theme in order to stay relevant. Most horror connoisseurs don't watch horror to get scared all of the time, they watch it to enjoy great artists pushing an extreme and stylish genre to its limits, all while serving up a delicious shot of adrenaline.   Cinematography in horror films is extreme and artistic. Pay attention to the lights and common colors, crazy camera angles, and interesting jumps or cuts.  Social themes are common motifs in horror, exploring what society fears through art. From Night of the Living Dead to It Follows, look for the real-life metaphors.  Sound and Music are subtle but key. It's been shown that sound on its own is often scarier than pure visuals. Anyone who's ever been alone at night in a creaky house knows that, but ask yourself how the filmmakers are able to pull off this same effect in the movie. A truly great horror movie is scary because you never see the events and scares coming. While all horror films will follow the "rules" outlined above to various degrees, you should be prepared for a great horror flick to break these rules in crucial, terrifying ways. The best way to avoid jumping, at the end of the day, is to never watch horror movies in the first place. But what is the fun in that?! You may get annoyed at how easily you flinch during a jump scare, even one that you see coming, but there is a very good reason for the jump. Almost all mammals share this "startle reflex," as it naturally moves you away from potential danger without having to take the time to think of it. Even if it's not fun, it is hardwired into human DNA to move when scared.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find whole oats for a healthy option. Buy rolled oats for preservation. Pick steel cut oats for heartier oatmeal. Avoid purchasing quick or instant oats.

Answer: Cut oats often lose fatty acids and other nutrients while being stored. Pick whole oats if you are most interested in your oatmeal's health benefits. The fresh taste of whole oats can compliment overnight oatmeal well. Whole oats must be rolled at home so don't choose this option unless you own an oat grinder. Rolled oats preserve the taste and nutrients in the oats. Before being stored, rolled oats are steamed and flattened into flakes. When soaked overnight, they absorb flavors easily. Rolled oats are easily found at most grocery stores, unlike whole oats. Steel cut oats are chopped up into small pieces before being stored. During the packaging process, they are neither steamed nor rolled. Their flavor is heartier and creamier than rolled or whole oats because they remain firm after absorbing water. Although you can make soaked oats from quick or instant brands, they are most likely to taste mushy. Neither has nutritional value thanks to their cheap processing and added preservatives. They are the cheapest but also the least ideal option for overnight oatmeal.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sprint forward before hitting it. Run back and forth to get hits in. Make a barrier. Fight underwater. Trigger an explosion. Improve your sword.

Answer: Sprint by double tapping the forward key, to rush toward the creeper. While sprinting, your attacks knock back enemies. Sprinting is not possible at low health or high hunger. An iron sword takes three hits to kill a creeper in Normal mode, but if you try to hit it three times in a row, you'll probably get killed. Instead, retreat after the first hit, then sprint in again two more times, or until the creeper dies.  Never come close while the creeper is blinking and hissing. This signals that it is almost ready to explode. A wooden, gold, or stone sword takes four hits to kill a creeper. Tools or bare hands can take even more. If you set up a fence or other barrier that blocks movement but not sight, this makes retreating during the combat much easier. If you're quick and notice the creeper from a distance, you may be able to set up a short fence before it approaches. Water nullifies the explosion, so if you can lure the creeper into a body of water, you are usually safe. Stay under the surface whenever you are next to the creeper, and it will usually be unable to hurt you at all. Block its attacks with a sword if you want to be a little safer. A creeper can drown in deep water. If you time it perfectly, you can trigger an explosion, but run away before it can deal you damage. This is a risky tactic, but if you encounter a group of creepers, a single explosion should kill them all. Consider trying this if you meet several creepers at once and don't have a bow.  If the creepers are spread out, first move in a large circle around them to herd them into one small group. The creeper will first hiss and blink when you get close, but won't commit to the explosion until it starts flashing white. A diamond sword still takes three hits to kill a creeper, so it's not an improvement over iron in this case. Upgrading from anything else to iron, however, is highly recommended. Enchantment tables also provide a way to improve your weapon, potentially adding more damage, knockback, or the ability to set enemies on fire.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a tank for your betta. Prepare the tank Fill up the tank with tap water. Purchase a water conditioner.

Answer:
In their natural habitat, bettas live in murky, stagnant water. Although they can survive in very small, cramped tanks, it’s healthier for the fish to give it a larger environment. Look for a tank that is holds around five gallons of water, as this will give the fish plenty of space. Do not keep your betta in a tank smaller than one gallon. Since betta fish breathe air directly from the top of the water, your tank does not need a filtration system. In fact, it’s better if the tank doesn’t have one—the current created by the filtration is stressful to bettas. . Wash the fish tank thoroughly and then rinse the gravel carefully in hot tap water. Do not use soap or detergent on the gravel. Then layer the gravel carefully at the bottom of the tank. Rinse any decorations and put them into the tank.  The tank does not necessarily have to be a traditional fish tank; any large container will do. It’s important that you include gravel in the fish tank. Opt for a neutral color, and for relatively small-grained gravel. The neutral color will calm your betta, and bacteria that build up on the gravel will digest your fish’s waste and keep the water relatively clean. Do not use mineral water in the tank, since it lacks important minerals that your betta fish will need. It’s important that, when filled with tap water, your fish tank will have plenty of surface area at the top. Betta fish do breathe underwater like most fish, but come up to the surface for an extra gulp of air at times.  For this reason, a narrow-topped container like a wine bottle does not make a suitable tank for a betta. A conditioner will remove chlorine (which is unhealthy for fish) from your tap water, and also filter out other impurities and heavy metals. Follow the instructions on the conditioner bottle, and remember to add this as you fill the tank with water. You’ll also need to add conditioner every time you change the water in the fish tank (roughly once a week).  If you bought your betta at a pet store, you should have received a water conditioner specifically made for bettas. If you were not given one, you’ll need to purchase a conditioner on your own. Conditioners should be available at any pet store, and can also be easily purchased online. The amount of conditioner that you use will vary based on the size of your fish tank. Follow the directions on the bottle regarding the amount of conditioner to use, and the amount of time to let it mix in the water before it’s safe for your fish.  If you live in a rural area where the tap water is not chlorinated, you may not need to use a conditioner. Some conditioners get rid of heavy metals though, so you can use it if you need.
