Q: Keep a small bowl of 30 beans on the table and appoint 1 person from each team to be their team’s official scorekeeper. At the end of each trick, have the scorekeeper take beans from the bowl to represent your team’s score. Keep these beans in front of the scorekeeper on the table to that everyone can see the tallies. If you don’t have dry beans, you could use other small tokens. In the game of Truco, the total points you need to win (30) are divided in half. The first 15 points are called the “bad” points. Once you cross 15, all your points automatically transfer to “good” points, or "buenas." This distinction is somewhat arbitrary because the first person to 30 points wins. If the game ends and you only have “bad” points, that doesn’t change anything in future games. After you cross the threshold of 15 points, you’re on your way to winning the game! It’s possible for both teams to have “good” points at the same time, but the first one to get to 30 will be the winner. Some groups will play the best out of 3 games, prolonging the time spent playing. Others will just play to 30 and declare that the team who won that game is the ultimate winner. Feel free to make adjustments to how you and your friends play.  For example, you could decide to play to 15 points if you have an abbreviated amount of time available; or you could decide to play to 100 points—it’s up to you. If both players cross 30 points in the same hand, the team with the highest score wins. It’s possible that you and your opponents could both cross 30 points in the same hand and end with the same score. If this happens, play another hand (and then another, if needed) until one team gains more points than the other. That team is the winner! Having a tie is pretty unusual. Chances are, you won’t run into this situation very often.
A: Use dry beans to keep score in the traditional way. Complete the first half of the game by getting 15 “bad” points. Start earning “good” points once you have more than 15. Win the game by getting 30 points. Deal with a tie by playing more hands until someone pulls ahead.

Article: If the walls and the ceiling will be the same color, you can skip this step. If you choose to use a roller, be sure to get one with a 1 inch (2.54 cm) thick nap to ensure full coverage.  A spray gun can also be used and may save some time but it might be necessary to practice on a different surface first to get a feel for the way the gun handles and how far you should hold the sprayer to the surface for the best coverage.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Cover the entire floor and any furnishings with as many drop-cloths or sheets as needed. Set up a ladder or scaffolding that is tall enough to allow you to reach the ceiling without straining. Put on safety glasses to protect your eyes from loose texture and dripping paint. Vacuum the ceiling using a hand-held vacuum cleaner with a soft-bristled attachment, being careful not to damage the texture. Tape around all the wall edges with painters tape if you are painting the ceiling a color that differs from the walls. Decide on your application technique.

Problem: Article: Your doctor may also recommend that you get hand therapy, a special kind of physical therapy that focuses solely on the hands and wrists. You will be required to go to regular sessions and perform a variety of exercises meant to strengthen your hands and reduce your pain. Your hand therapist may also request that you do exercises at home between appointments. If you want your condition to improve, it's very important that you do them as instructed. If you need pain relief, but you're not ready for surgery, you can consider seeing a doctor to have injections in your wrists. These normally only provide temporary pain relief.  Steroid injections are commonly used to relieve pain from carpal tunnel syndrome. Botox injections may also help your condition. If you're looking for a drug-free way to treat your pain, you may want to look into acupuncture and cupping. Both techniques rely on the theory that the body has multiple pressure points that can be stimulated to reduce pain. Acupuncture involves the use of small needles, while cupping involves placing a series of glass cups on the body's pressure points to create suction. For most people, surgery is a last resort, but if carpal tunnel syndrome is interfering with your life and nothing else is working to improve your symptoms, it may be the best option for you. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of surgery to determine if it is right for you.  Carpal tunnel release surgery involved cutting the tissue around the medial nerve in order to release the pressure. There are two types of carpal tunnel surgery: open release surgery requires a two-inch long incision, while endoscopic release surgery requires two smaller incisions, which may reduce the patient's pain and recovery time. It can take several months to fully recover from carpal tunnel surgery, although you may experience relief of your symptoms immediately after the procedure. . Obesity can be related to carpal tunnel syndrome, so a structured weight loss program may improve carpal tunnel symptoms. Make sure that you discuss your options with your physician before making any drastic changes to your diet.
Summary: Get hand therapy. Try injections. Try acupuncture or cupping. Have surgery. Consider starting a weight loss program

Q: To open the screen, you need to move the window out of the way. Open the window by unlocking it and sliding the lower sash up as far as it will go. A double-hung window is made of 2 movable panels known as sashes. The lower sash is the bottom panel that rests against the window sill. The screens for double-hung windows have 2 tabs on either side of its bottom. Find the tabs with your fingers, placing your index fingers on their outside edge. In most cases, you’ll need to push the screen’s tabs inward so it can slide along the track. Use your fingers to press the tabs, and carefully slide the screen up to open it as far as you’d like.
