Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the characteristics of dark fantasy as a genre. Read examples of dark fantasy. Analyze the examples.

Answer: The dark fantasy genre is unique in that it seems to overlap with other genres, like fantasy and horror. Most works of dark fantasy focus on the frightening side of human nature, with elements of the sublime, the uncanny, and the weird. Unlike the traditional fantasy genre, the heroes of dark fantasy are often individuals who do unsavory or troubling things. This genre aims to entertain readers with psychological twists and turns. Like many sub genres, dark fantasy can be difficult to pin down. Some dark fantasy writers combine elements of horror with elements of fantasy to create a story set in an otherworldly place. Other dark fantasy writers apply psychological elements to a fantastical premise and create stories that are more about dystopia or the apocalypse. With the prominence of technology in the 21st century, many dark fantasy series are focusing on futuristic elements and modern dystopia. But there are also dark fantasy series that are about a fantastical world other than our own. To get a better sense of dark fantasy as a genre, you should take the time to read some good example texts. Many dark fantasy stories are in the form of novels or a series of novels that focus on the same set of characters existing in the world of the story. For example: The Gunslinger by Stephen King. Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. Sharp Ends by Joe Abercrombie. Coraline by Neil Gaiman. "Six of Crows" duology by Leigh Bardugo Once you read through one to two example texts, you should compare and contrast the author's approach to the genre. You may notice similarities between the writing in the examples as well as other elements of dark fantasy, such as undertones of the sublime, the supernatural, and the weird. Ask yourself the following questions as you analyze the examples: Does the story focus more on psychological horror or bloody, gory horror? How does the story build suspense and engagement in the reader? How does the author build the world of the story? Does she use specific language and terms to describe the world? Does she or he use characters to illustrate how the world works? How do the characters in the story interact with the world? Do you root for one character in particular in the story? What types of bad decisions do the character(s) make in the story and how does this affect the outcome or ending of the story? Where there any dark moments in the story that disturbed or thrilled you? How does the author create these dark, disturbing moments without resorting to gore or graphic violence?

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cycle through your other passwords. Try out the obvious. Recall your life at the time you made the password. Make sure you're typing correctly. Meditate. Purchase and use a password cracker.

Answer: Operating under the assumption that people forget their passwords one at a time, it is usually a good idea to try out other personal passwords you tend to use regularly. While it's now common practice for web users to use separate passwords for different things, some passwords are often used for numerous things. If you're unsure, it's altogether possible that you didn't actually forget a password, but only forgot that a certain password corresponded with an account. Don't forget to try out old or out-of-date passwords as well, if the account you're trying to access is fairly old. Any hunt for passwords cannot go without touching upon the most obvious, common answers. This is especially true if you have no idea what the password is and you're trying to guess from scratch. Try to think of the most intuitive, obvious passwords you may have chosen. Passwords like 'Password', 'Cheeseburger', or your full name are incredibly easy to hackers to exploit, and if you think you may have defaulted with one of those, you'll at least have given yourself an easy code to break. Some of the most common passwords include '123456', 'abc123', 'qwerty', and 'iloveyou'. Birthdays are also common. If you think you may have been sneaky enough to add a twist on an otherwise weak password, try out testing some basic encryptions. For instance, if you may have used your name or your birth year in the password, try spelling them backwards. Most passwords today require at least one number. The most common numerical addition is to add a '1' at the end of the password; the second most common addition is to add one's birthday (e.g. 1992). In a lot of cases, people will find inspiration for their passwords from their life and surroundings. If you have a rough idea when the account and password were created, try to look back on that time and decide what important factors may have influenced your choice of password. Did you have a significant other at the time, or a pet? Setting some time aside to reflect upon your past is helpful if you're trying to remember something specific like a password. Other examples include your hometown, your favourite sports team, or the name of your best friend. Stressing yourself out while trying to remember will have the opposite effect you want it to. The human brain has a much harder time retrieving information while under duress, so make sure to relax, breathe, and remind yourself that nothing is the end of the world. Whenever you're typing in your password, make sure you're writing accurately. Something as simple as leaving the Caps Lock key on will reject an otherwise correct password, and runs the risk of giving you the impression that the right answer is actually wrong! Since passwords are usually shown as asterisks on the screen, it's important you type a password carefully if you're unsure about it. This is especially important when you're making a password for the first time. If you accidentally confirm a typo in your password, you'll stand very little chance of retrieving it in the future. While it may sound like the hardest thing to do when you're stressed out over losing access to a computer or account, relaxing via meditation can be a powerful tool for memory retrieval. Sometimes, the most effective way to remember something is to try not thinking about it at all. Take a deep breath, and gradually release the frustration from your body; being anxious or angry isn't getting you any closer towards finding your password, so you should instead focus on becoming as serene as possible. While true relaxation cannot occur if you're simply going about it as a way to remember, it's possible you'll remember it once you're in a clearer state of mind. Going for a run or working out helps a great deal as well. The mind tends to function much better when the body is in motion! There are certain programs available that are specifically designed to retrieve lost passwords. While generally associated with hacker culture, legitimate enterprises recommend these programs as a way to regain access to a computer. Download the software from another computer, put it on a CD or USB drive, and plug it into the computer. The password cracker will immediately infiltrate your system and fish out the account data. The process is automatic and incredibly fast, so if it's your OS password you're worrying about, this solution can be a quick, and relatively inexpensive fix. Password crackers are only designed for cracking OS passwords, like a Windows user account. Online accounts like emails cannot be retrieved this way. Although it's perfectly legitimate to try cracking your own password with this kind of software, using it to hack the accounts of others can get you into serious trouble and isn't recommended.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash and dry your hands. Use 1 finger to touch the center of the cheesecake. Look for a firm surface.

Answer:
Before touching the cheesecake, thoroughly wash your hands with warm water and soap. Rinse your hands to remove the soap residue and dry them completely. Gently touch the surface of the center of the cheesecake with 1 or 2 fingers. Don't press too hard! You want to check the doneness in the middle of the cake, rather than near the edges. If the surface of the cheesecake has a little bit of give but feels firm, the cake is done. If your finger sinks into the cake or comes away with batter on it, the cake needs more time in the oven. Bake it for another 5 minutes before checking it again.
