Write an article based on this "Pull out the double-12 or double-9 domino from the set. Shuffle the remaining dominoes facedown on the table in front of you. Have each player draw their cards from the shuffled tiles. Put the remaining tiles into the “train yard” to draw from on future turns. Set the double domino in the center of the table to begin play. Pick someone to start and take turns clockwise around the table. Win a hand by being the first to lay down all of your dominoes. Continue playing and keeping score until all the double tiles are used."
article: Choose a domino set with a double-12 for a 13-hand game; choose the double-9 set for a 10-hand game. From whichever set you choose, remove the highest double-sided tile before you move on to shuffling. In Mexican Train, the game starts with the highest double-sided tile in the middle of the table. Each hand after that starts with the double-sided tile that is one number less than the one preceding it: the first hand starts with the double-12, the second hand starts with the double-11, the third hand starts with the double-10, and so on. Lay out all of the tiles and flip them so they are pip-side down. Thoroughly mix them up by hand. Because there are so many rounds played in Mexican Train, have players take turns flipping and shuffling the tiles. After you draw your tiles, set them up in front of you on their sides so you can see what you have, but try your best to keep them hidden from your neighbors. You can play Mexican train with up to 8 people if you have a double-12 set. If you have a double-9 set, you can play with only 2 to 4 people. Follow this breakdown to determine how many tiles each person should take:  Double-12: 2 to 3 players take 16 tiles each; 4 players take 15 tiles each; 5 players take 14 tiles each; 6 players take 12 tiles each; 7 players take 10 tiles each; 8 players take 9 tiles each. Double-9: 2 players take 15 tiles each; 3 players take 13 tiles each; 4 players take 10 tiles each. If on any given turn you don't have a domino in your hand that can be played on either the Mexican train or your personal train, draw one tile from the train yard. If that tile can be played, play it. If not, it gets added to your hand and the turn passes on to the next player.  The “train yard” is also sometimes called the “bone pile.” Keep the tiles in the train yard face down. After drawing tiles for your hand and creating the train yard, it's finally time for gameplay to begin! There are sets you can buy that include a little stand for the starter tile, which you're welcome to use if you have it. If not, simply place the double-12 or double-9 tile into the center of the playing space.  This starter tile is often referred to as the “engine tile.” Everyone can play off of the engine tile, though each person's personal train coming off of that engine tile isn't fair game to other players unless there is a marker on it, which appears when a player isn't able to take their turn. Whoever goes first can lay down a tile only if they have one that matches the denomination of the engine tile. For example, if the engine tile is a double-12, then you must lay down a tile that has 12 pips on one side or the other. The 12-pip side needs to be laid down so it is connected to the double-12 engine tile. The exception to the 1-tile per turn rule is if you lay down a double tile, meaning that the pips on each side of the tile are the same. If you lay down a double tile, take a second turn immediately and lay down an additional tile. Once a player has laid down all the tiles in their hand, that particular round is over. Keep score on a piece of paper; have each player with tiles left in their hand add up the total number of pips. Add this figure beneath their name on the scoresheet. The goal is to have the lowest number at the end of all the rounds.  A set of double-12 dominoes will have 13 rounds, and a set of double-9 dominoes will have 10 rounds. The only other way a round can end is if the entire train yard has been depleted and no one can make a move. In that case, everyone tallies up the pips left in their hand and those figures get added to the score sheet. Each new round is started with the engine tile that is one number lower than the one used in the previous hand (double-9 for the first hand, double-8 for the second hand, double-7 for the third, and so on). The blank double is the last engine you will use before the end of the game (blank tiles can only be matched with tiles that also have a blank side). The already-used double tiles just get mixed back in with the other tiles when you shuffle between rounds.

Write an article based on this "Start with the author's first and last name. Provide the title of the book. Include publication information. Add pinpoint citations for a specific chapter. Use the author-date style for in-text citations."
article: Author's names are listed in Chicago Style citations with their last name first, followed by their first name. If there are multiple authors, you reverse the order of the first author's name, listing the rest with their first names first.  For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent." Use "and" rather than an ampersand. If you're creating footnotes, you don't reverse the orders of any names. For example: "Lois Lane and Clark Kent." Don't include a comma before the "and" unless you've reversed the first name. The next information in a Chicago-style citation is the italicized title of the book. Generally, you should capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives. Don't capitalize articles, prepositions, or short words such as to or as unless they're the first word in the title.  For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History." If there is both an author and an editor, list the editor's name after the title. For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History, ed. Stan Lee." In footnotes, the authors' names are followed by a comma instead of a period. The book's title is still italicized. The next part of a Chicago-style citation provides the city where the book was published, the name of the publisher, and the year it was published. There is no need to include a state or country along with the city.  For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History. New York: Penguin, 2007." In footnotes, you would put the publication information in parentheses. For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History (New York: Penguin, 2007)." If you only used a single chapter or section of the textbook for your paper, you can add the chapter title and page numbers to your Chicago citation to direct readers to the part you used.  For example:"Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. "The Rise of Superman," in Superhuman Powers in Global History (New York: Penguin, 2007)." A footnote ends with the specific page where the information you paraphrased or quoted in your paper can be found. For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History (New York: Penguin, 2007), 92." While academic publishers and many professionals prefer footnotes, author-date parenthetical citations frequently are used in the social sciences and other disciplines, particularly for undergraduate papers.  Include the last names of the authors and the year of publication, then put a comma and list the page or pages where the information can be found. For example: "(Lane and Kent 2007, 92)."

for your destination and trip. Check the weather at your destination 2-3 days before you depart. This will let you know what type of clothes you need to bring. In addition, consider the nature of your trip. Will you be expected to wear a suit for a conference, or will you be able to lounge in a bathing suit on the beach?  The duration of your trip will also influence how much you pack. You likely won’t need 12 pairs of underwear for a weekend getaway. Try to pack light, sheddable layers such as shirts, light sweaters or cardigans, jackets, etc. This way, you can add on or remove a piece to suit the weather without having to pack entirely different outfits for different temperatures. No matter where you're going, there are some things that are essential to pack. Check the night before you depart to make sure you have your essentials ready to go in your travel bag. Some easy-to-forget essential items include:  Mobile phone charges Socks Underwear Toothbrush and toothpaste Deodorant or antiperspirant Sunscreen Sunglasses An umbrella If you're going abroad, make sure you bring electronic items that are compatible with your destination's power sources. You can use an adapter or converter for dual-voltage items, but you need to make sure the items are compatible with your destination's voltage.  For example, in the US, appliances are 110 volts. In the EU, they're 220 volts. If your electronic has a plug or printing somewhere on it that says "110-220," this means the item is safe to use for both voltages. If you use an electronic item with incompatible voltage, it could short circuit your item and permanently damage or destroy it. It is also a fire hazard. Even if your item is safe for both voltages, it probably doesn't have a plug for both. You need an adapter or converter to plug into the wall outlets at your destination. Different countries have different outlets, so check online and buy your adapter before you depart. If you're going on a long or international trip, it's a good idea to schedule a visit with your doctor before you go. Ask them to get a refill for any prescriptions you need to take with you. Give yourself enough time to get the prescription filled before you leave for your trip. Ask them about any vaccinations they may advise for your destination, and talk to them about any preventative medications you may need to take while traveling. If, for example, you're going to a place where malaria is common, you may be given a preventative pill. Hopefully, you won’t need your emergency kit when traveling, but it’s always a good precaution. Leave your kit in a separate place from items like your passport. That way, if your passport gets stolen, you still have the copies in your kit. Your emergency kit should include:  2-3 color copies of your government-issued ID or the information page of your passport A copy of your visa, if applicable Copies of your transportation and accommodations bookings A list of numbers for anyone important back home Enough cash to get you to your local embassy or emergency services (enough for a taxi ride from one end of your destination city to the other should be enough) An extra dose of any regular medication you take, as well as a few over-the-counter medications like pain relievers, antacids, and antihistamines.
