Problem: Article: It goes without saying that some vacation destinations are better than others when it comes to meeting women. Think about the place you're going if you're looking to meet women abroad, and consider changing your choice of destination if it's that important to you. If you can imagine a vacation location as being exciting and potentially romantic, there's a good chance you'll be able to meet women there. Cruises, for example, are generally intended for committed couples, unless the cruise is listed as being otherwise. Tropical resorts or festive cities on the other hand attract singles in droves. Although most cruises are intended for married couple, there are specific cruises that capitalize on offering experiences for singles. Because most everyone going will be single, a singles cruise will vastly increase your chance to striking up conversation with single women. Conceivably, meeting someone on any cruise ship would be a romantic experience, but due to the fact that cruises are regularly associated with couples, your bet luck will be had with singles cruises. Although the tourism industry is conventionally built around couples, families and groups, there are vacation packages catered specifically to singles as well. Many of these involve resorts where other singles  may congregate and make their own fun together. If you have a rough idea where you'd like to go, look into whether the region in question has any packages suited for your intent and situation. While some people prefer to take it easy and lay back while they're on vacation, there are almost always good way of meeting single women when you're abroad. Once you have a destination picked out, look into the attractions. The best place for meeting women will be high-energy settings where alcohol is involved. Clubs, bars and the beach are all great places to start. Try to steer away from places that attract families. The people you go on vacation with will have a major impact on your experience abroad. Your party will also have a considerable impact on your chances of meeting women. Going with your family won't help your odds for example, but going with a group of fellow singles who are intent on the same thing will make it easier to find fresh opportunities during the vacation.
Summary: Consider the place you're going to vacation at. Go on a singles cruise. Look into singles vacation packages. Plan your vacation activities with meeting women in mind. Go vacationing with the right kind of people.

Problem: Article: Monopoly is easily customized and all you need is an idea to get started. You can think globally, like making an ocean-themed Monopoly, or personal, like  one based on the town you live in.  Be careful not to be too specific. If you're theme isn't broad enough, you might not have enough options to fill out all of the railroad spaces or Community Chest cards without compromising the overall theme. Pick a name for your game based on the Monopoly formula, like "Dog-opoly" or "Elvis-opoly." For example, if you were making a medieval time period board, you could use a calligraphy script for the spaces and a dungeon instead of the traditional jail cell bars. You'll need four diamond-shaped spaces in the four corners and measure out nine rectangular spaces in between for the property spaces. Make a list of different landmarks or places that can be bought and sold. You can be whimsical or logical, like picking ice cream flavors or skyscrapers that exist in New York City. For a San Francisco themed game, you'll want to pick popular places such as Lombard Street or Embarcadero Street, or Ghirardelli Square and Fisherman's Wharf. In total there are 22 property spaces. You will need to pick eight different colors for each of the groupings. After the property spaces, you'll need four railroads, three Chance spots, three Community Chest spaces, and three utility spaces with their monetary values. Additionally, remember to customize the 'Start' space as well as the other corner spots. Make a "Go to Jail" space and a "Jail" Space. Be creative with how you want your fellow players to be ensnared. If you're making a jungle-themed game, you can make a space for a "broken swinging vine" that sends you to the "quicksand pit." If this is a gift for someone's anniversary for instance, you can Photoshop or paste actual photos of the couple around your customized Monopoly name. Since you've already changed the board you have the option to personalize the game play as well. For example, you can rearrange the property spaces to make it more difficult or alter how long someone remains in jail. But if you don't want to lose too much of the original game, you can print out a copy online or use an old version's copy to keep in the board box.
Summary: Think of a unique theme for your game. Match the playing spaces and images to your theme. Plan out personalized property spaces. Pick out the secondary playing spaces. Use the large empty space in the middle of the board to elaborate on your theme. Decide if you want to change any rules.

Problem: Article: Preheat oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit or 176° Celsius. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix using a whisk until the dry ingredients are well-combined. Pour in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and water. Stir using a whisk or blend using a hand blender, until the cake batter forms and there are no more flour streaks. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the cake batter into both of the cake pans. Remove any leftover batter by scraping the edges of the bowl. Place both cake pans in the oven to bake. Have the cake bake for about 45 minutes, until the cake rises and is fluffy. Remove both pans from the oven and have the cakes cool for about twenty minutes on a wire rack. Leave both cakes until they are cool enough to touch.
