In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The more properties you have, and the more rent you collect, the more money you get from your opponents. Buying as many properties as you can early in the game gives you the best chance of winning the game. Don't wait until you've got more money, or until you've landed on Boardwalk or other prestigious properties to start spending money. Start buying whatever open property you land on as soon as possible. The more you own, the better your standing in the game. There's little incentive in Monopoly to play conservatively and wait. You'll start making money after you have property, not before. Don't worry about spending all of your money in the early turns. That just means you're playing smart. Don't leave a bunch of open spaces in a color group for others to buy. Buy them yourself if you can. In general, you should always buy unowned properties if no other player owns property in that color group, especially if it gives you a second or third property in a given group, building you closer to a monopoly. The orange properties, in particular, are the most landed-upon, making them the most desirable monopoly. You have a monopoly when you own all of the properties of one color. The holder of a monopoly is entitled to double the rental rate normally paid. The monopoly holder is also entitled to add houses/hotels (which substantially increases rental rates). Holding a monopoly also greatly enhances your bargaining power during property trades made at later times in the game. It can also be advantageous to purchase properties to block other players from creating monopolies, opening you up for trade possibilities later in the game. If you see an opponent working towards a particular monopoly, take any opportunity that you get to buy the properties they want. Don't worry about blocking a monopoly when two players each own a property of a group. They're already blocking each other, meaning you'd be better off placing your attention elsewhere. Use the advantage that you gain from buying a property that another player wants to get something that you want. For example, if the other player has a property (or two) that you want, propose a trade. In general, the railroad spaces are more valuable than the utility spaces, which offer little in the way of long-term investment. Railroads, though, are only valuable if you own all of them. Some players make acquiring all the Railroads a priority, while some prefer ignoring it as a distraction. Whatever you choose to do, stick with your policy. There's only a 1 in 38 chance of profiting from a Utilities purchase, meaning you would be better off investing in hotels and other building projects because they will make you more money. Sometimes it might be a good idea to purchase a Railroad to keep another player from having a railroad monopoly. As soon as you get a monopoly, start building, and don't stop building until you've got three houses on each property. You will make far more money after you get up to three houses per property. This extra income will increase your chances of winning the game. Build houses when you have enough cash for a "high probability" expense such as rents on railroads and utilities, luxury tax and certain Community Chest cards. If possible, wait until you pass the part of the board where there is the highest likelihood of paying the highest penalties, the last few squares of the game before Go. When you have only three or four low-rent color groups, you should put three or four houses on each property to restrict the availability of houses to owners of high rent color groups. Don't move up to a hotel if returning houses to the bank would enable your opponent to develop an expensive color group. It's devious, and effective.
Summary: Buy as many properties as you can as soon as possible. Create monopolies. Buy properties that other players want. Develop a strategy for railroads and utilities. Get three houses as quickly as possible. Try to cause a housing shortage.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Consider using two or three colors instead of incorporating every color you can imagine. Some of the most successful protest signs use a very limited color palete, so think about which two or three colors will work best for your message and keep it simple. Artist Lorraine Schneider designed a protest sign with only yellow, orange and black. The sign included an image of a fragile flower and read 'War is not healthy for children and other living things.' It became famous during the Vietnam War protests. If you are feeling ambitious or are more artistically inclined, you could try mixed media or even three dimensional designs. Foamcore tends to work better for attaching three dimensional objects to the surface of a protest sign. For instance, you could attach a three dimensional globe to a foamcore poster at a climate justice protest. If you are in a rush, you could always download an existing poster design. Some organizations involved in the protest you are attending may have some preexisting poster designs available on their websites. You could also alter an existing poster design with your own text. Lean your sign against a wall. Walk back ten or twenty feet and see if you can read it. If you can't read it from a distance, the text may be too small. If you can't discern the symbols on your sign, you may want to make them larger. You could also ask a friend to hold your sign up when testing for legibility. Depending on the message you are trying to convey, you may want to add some decorations. Glitter, sparkles and other eye catching decorations can help to make your protest sign more attractive.
Summary: Limit your color palete. Try mixed media. Download an existing poster design. Look at the sign from a distance to check readability. Add decorations.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This includes floppy discs, CDs, DVDs. This may also include external hard drives or thumb drives if your computer is set to boot from them. You can also Restart the computer This step can be skipped if you are rebooting. This will take you to the "Advanced Boot Options" screen. You may see some combination of the following options: Safe Mode with Networking. Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that disallows all software except necessary drivers and core software (including basic network software in this case) to run the operating system. Safe Mode with Command Prompt. This gives you a command prompt window in safe mode instead of a graphical user interface. This mode is typically for advanced users. Enable Boot Logging. This option creates a file, ntbtlog.txt, that can be used to help troubleshoot issues while booting the computer. This is also designed for advanced users. Enable low-resolution video (640480). This starts Windows using your video driver and with low resolution and refresh rate settings. This can help you troubleshoot issues with your display settings or graphics hardware. Last Known Good Configuration (advanced). If you are having trouble booting into your OS or keeping the environment stable, this will start Windows with the last registry and driver configuration that booted successfully. Debugging Mode. This starts Windows in a troubleshooting mode with advanced diagnostics and logging intended for IT professionals. Disable automatic restart on system failure. This prevents Windows from automatically restarting if an error causes Windows to fail (for example, a Blue Screen error). You can use this if Windows is stuck in a loop where the OS fails, restarts, then fails again repeatedly. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. This will Allow drivers containing improper signatures to be installed when using Windows. Only use this if you trust the source of the third party drivers you are using. Start Windows Normally. This will start Windows without any special modifications. The computer will boot into Windows 7 with the selected modifications.
Summary:
Remove any optical media from your computer. Power off your computer. Power on your computer. Press and hold F8 while the computer starts. Select a boot option using the arrow keys. Hit Enter.
