Article: Though people often confuse the game "Speed" for the game "Spit," the latter is actually a more complicated version of the game, though the same principles do apply. The first thing you have to do is to split the deck in half so each player can begin to organize his piles. If you're familiar with Solitaire or Patience, then 5 of the piles will be set up in a similar fashion. You may only have 5 face up groups. Each player should set up the stock piles and spit piles like this:   The stock piles:  Stack 1 has 0 cards face down and 1 card face up Stack 2 has 1 card face down and 1 card face up Stack 3 has 2 cards face down and 1 card face up Stack 4 has 3 cards face down and 1 card face up Stack 5 has 4 cards face down and 1 card face up    The spit pile: Stack 6 is each player's spit pile and can be placed out on the side. These are known as the player's spit cards. Each player should also say "spit!" as he or she does this. These cards will begin the spite pile, where each player will try to place cards of ascending or descending value from his or her stockpile. When they play one of the cards in the 5 stacks, they can then flip a card that is face down into the empty space to create a new active spit card. Think of these 5 stacks as being each player's "hand". In this game, unlike in Speed, the players don't have a hand to hold. When this happens, the players should draw a card from the stock piles and place them in the center of the pile at the same time to continue the game. If the other player sees this and hits the center pile of his choice first, he gets it. The idea is to take the smaller pile, if there is one, so the other player is stuck with more cards. The player who does not slap the spite pile in time takes the other pile. Whoever gets his hand on the pile first gets it. If neither player can play and one of the players has no spit cards left, then the other player has to spit alone into only one spit pile. This player can choose either of the piles, but then he has to keep spitting into only that pile for the remainder of the round. Now, each player must take the remaining cards in his stockpile as well as the cards that he now owns from the spit piles and reshuffle them. The player should then place those cards into the set-up of 5 stock piles just as he did at the beginning of the game, using the remaining cards as his spit pile. One of the players may have more cards than the other. If one player doesn't have enough cards to create a spit pile after dealing all of the cards in the 5 stock piles, then there will only be one spit pile in the center of the game. To win the game, a player must get rid of all of the cards in his stockpile and spit cards. Once a player has no cards left at all, he has won the game. This game can take a lot longer to play and win than "Speed," but the feeling of victory can be even sweeter!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Split a deck of 52 cards into 2 equal decks. Have each player organize his cards into 6 piles into 5 stock piles and 1 spit pile. Begin the game by having each player flip a card from his spit pile into the center of the game. Each player should place any cards that are face up on one of the center cards that are of ascending or descending value. The players should draw from the stock piles if they cannot use any of their cards. When a player has played all of the cards in his 5 decks, he should hit the center deck he wants and gain it. Reshuffle the two spit piles to continue playing the game. Keep playing until one player wins by running out of cards.
Article: Most marketing claims aren't backed up by official definitions or held to regulatory standards, so these might just be catchy advertising phrases. For example, "natural" could mean that artificial colors or flavors haven't been added, but since this word isn't regulated, there's no telling exactly what it means. Other words to watch out for include "premium," "wholesome," or "gourmet." If you see a product labeled as "organic," you should also see the official USDA seal of approval on the bag. The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) warns that labeling and marketing information is designed to appeal to consumers. This means that pet foods might follow the latest food trend, so people are more likely to buy them even though the product might not be all that beneficial for your pet. Instead of focusing on marketing and labels, read up on the nutrition of the pet food. This is one of the most important aspects of a pet food label because it shows that the pet food meets all the nutrition requirements for the pet it's designed for. You should see the statement appear near the guaranteed analysis of the diet. For example, you may see "(Name of product) is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO or National Research Council (NRC) food nutrient profiles." A pet food label that says "light" or "low-calorie" must have significantly lower calories compared to a similar pet food. If you see a label that says "lean" or "low-fat," the pet food must be below a certain fat content level that's regulated by the AAFCO. For example, a low-calorie dog food can't have more than 3,100 kilocalories per kilogram if it's labeled "light."

Research marketing claims. Remember that nutrition is more important than advertising claims. Look for the nutrition adequacy statement. Recognize the difference between low-calorie and low-fat pet foods.
Article: Although boils themselves are not contagious, the bacteria which causes them is. That's why it's very important to exercise caution and avoid sharing any towels, clothes or bedding used by a family member with boils. These items should also be thoroughly washed after used by the infected person. Good hygiene is probably the most important thing you can do to prevent boils As boils are usually caused by bacteria infecting the hair follicles, you should prevent the build up of bacteria on the surface of the skin by washing daily. Normal soap is fine. You can also use an abrasive brush or sponge, such as a loofah, to scrub the skin. This will break up any oil from becoming clogged around the hair follicles. Bacteria can easily enter the body through cuts and wounds on the skin. It can then travel down the hair follicle where it causes infection and the development of boils. To avoid this, make sure to clean all minor cuts and scrapes well with an antibacterial wash, apply a cream or ointment, and cover with a bandage until healed. Boils that form between the buttocks, also known as "pilonidal cysts," usually develop as a result of direct pressure caused by sitting down for long periods of time. They are common in truck drivers and people who have recently traveled on a long flight. If possible, try to relieve the pressure by taking frequent breaks to stretch your legs.
