INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best way to create suspense is to work backward -- you know what needs to happen, so you need to build towards that moment with suspense, patience, and tension. A basic tenet of film suspense is the idea of tension and release. The audience is convinced something bad is going to happen, even if they don't know what, and the suspense comes from wanting and waiting for that release (or hoping to avoid it). Some common moments include: A difficult or impossible challenge -- see Game of Thrones, especially battle episodes like "Hearthorn" and "Battle of the Bastards," which put characters up against long odds and then watches them to near death. An approaching villain or enemy. From every slasher movie ever made to the ridiculously intense No Country for Old Men, the cat-and-mouse chase scene is a classic suspense trope. A moment the audience understands but the characters don't. Known as dramatic irony, we naturally start to squirm when we know a character is making a mistake but are powerless to stop them. The classic Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo commits suicide because he thought Juliet had died (she was only faking), is one of the best examples. This doesn't have to be huge, but a little originality goes a long way towards making a scene suspenseful. If the audience can predict what is going to happen, or has seen it before, the suspense is immediately sucked out. Remember, however, that even little things matter: Stanley Kubrick made history with completely silent scenes of suspense in 2001: A Space Odyssey (among other tricks). Hitchcock's Psycho changed movie history forever by killing the lead actress first -- not last. The death scene itself wasn't revolutionary, but he masterfully subverted audience expectations to create shock and suspense. The Departed created suspense simply, but effectively, by showing both sides of the story. By making you see the cop's perspective and the mafia's, you understand before anyone else in the movie that everyone is royally screwed. Otherwise said, the more the viewer can place themselves in the viewers shoes, the more suspenseful the scene will be. In many ways, this is the job of the rest of the movie -- creating believable characters and scenes so that you buy into the suspense without thinking. However, there are some big tips that you must remember to prevent ripping the viewer out of the scene: Characters must make believable decisions. Everyone's seen the horror movie where the idiot "hero" walks out into the dark night to confront the villain and gets promptly cut down. When characters do things no real person would ever do, audiences tend to laugh. All characters need some personality. Again, look to slashers to see what not to do. When your characters have no backstory, goals, or personality, you couldn't care less what happens to them. The easiest way to do this is to give them a dream or goal in the scene -- something they are striving to (escape, victory, food, etc.), so they are active participants, not just your next victims. Both success and failure must be plausible: If it is obvious the character is going to die or going to win, you lose all-important the suspense of wondering what happens next. When filming a suspenseful scene, you are rarely going to be able to shoot everything at once. Even if you do, you'll need a game plan before you get started -- a comic book-like version of the movie that lets you effectively plan each shot out. This is the time to test out all of the ideas in the steps above, "shooting" the scene before you even turn a camera on. Some filmmakers like to write out the scene in paragraph form first, as this is a good way to "tell" the story and figure out the pacing. You can print out free storyboard sheets online with a simple search. The more detailed this plan is, the better you will be when it comes time to shoot.

SUMMARY: Determine the big moment the scene is building up towards. Figure out what is going to make your scene surprising or unique. Remember that suspense, in any scene, requires audience empathy. Storyboard out the scene with pictures, text, and dialogue.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You have basic rights to be safe and free of harassment at work. If things get to the extreme there are legal routes to take to end a hostile work environment. As mentioned above, getting to know how the human resources team works can help in extreme cases. Most work places will have written policies for human resources that include a formal grievance or complaint process. This can be as simple as moving your desk away from the person you have a problem with or changing departments to avoid working with them. If the problem escalates you may want to consider getting a new job or taking the issue to your boss. An important part of this step is to make sure you are following the natural chain of command and don't overstep your immediate supervisor unless they are the person you have an issue with. Harassment on the job can lower performance so most bosses are willing to proactively address problems. Approach your boss with clear details of the problem. For instance, you might start off by saying "I am having a problem with" then explain what you have done to try to resolve the issue before having to come to your boss.

SUMMARY: Know your rights against harassment. Understand how your workplace handles tense employee relationships. Request a reassignment. Go to a superior when things get out of hand.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cockatiels will breed any time of year, but they need a decent amount of light in order to breed. Make sure that your cockatiels have a source of natural or bright artificial light for 10-12 hours per day. Before breeding, it is important to ensure that your birds are eating well. Feed them a balanced diet of food that is meant for cockatiels. Check on your birds often to make sure that both cockatiels have equal access to food and water dishes. If one bird is guarding the food and water, then you can add extra dishes of food and water. Good foods to give your cockatiels include: cockatiel seed mix soft foods such as greens, pasta, cooked rice, cooked beans, moist wheat bread sprouted seeds cuttlebone or mineral blocks for calcium supplements (to sprinkle over other foods) such as spirulina, Echinacea, and Prozyme fresh, clean water (change it a couple of times per day) Your cockatiels will need plenty of room for breeding and even more space after their young have hatched. Make sure that the cage that you put your cockatiel pair into is 6 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet. You can place the pair into their enclosure a few weeks before you provide a nest box so they can get to know each other and to get into sync for breeding. Place the cage in a quiet part of your home to give the couple the privacy and quiet they will need to breed, brood, hatch and raise their young. After the pair has been together for at least two weeks and they are getting along well, then you will then need to provide them with a nest box. As you choose a nest box, some things to consider include: Material. There are many types of nest boxes available including metal, plastic and wooden ones. Wood is a good choice because cockatiels will chew on the entrance to customize it to their specifications. Size. A one foot by one foot box is sufficient for breeding cockatiels. Rear access door. Some nesting boxes come with a rear access door so that you can check on the chicks without disturbing the hen. Bedding. Cockatiel parents will use bedding to make a cozy and safe nest for the chicks. The best materials for nesting are low dust pine shavings or uncolored paper materials like newspaper or plain white paper towels. Do not use cedar shavings because the oils in this material can kill or injure the chicks.

SUMMARY:
Provide 10-12 hours of natural or bright artificial light per day. Feed your birds well. Put your breeding pair into a large cage together. Create a nest box.
