INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The player to the left of the dealer goes first. The player should play a high ranking single card face-up on the table. They can also play a set of cards of equal rank, like a pair or 3 of a kind.  For example, they might play a single Queen or a pair of sevens. After placing their cards face-up on the table, their turn is over. Each player will take a turn separately—there will be no simultaneous gameplay. When it’s your turn, play your cards. When you're done, the next person plays their cards. Continue like this until someone runs out of cards. If the person before you plays a single 9, you will need to play a 10 or higher to beat their play with a single card. You can also beat their play by playing a matching set of cards, like a pair or 3 of a kind. If the person before you played a set of cards, you must play a set of higher ranking cards to beat their play.  For example, you could beat a single 9 by playing a pair of eights or 3 Jacks. If the player before you plays a pair of sixes, you must play a pair of sevens or higher. Any player who plays a 2 face up during their turn clears the table. This means that no matter what cards are already on the table, the table is cleared and a new round begins. Whoever plays the 2 gets to go first in this new round.  You might play a 2 to clear the table when you don't have cards to beat the previous play. Once the table is cleared, you can play whatever you want. You should play your lowest card or cards after you clear the table so that you can get rid of them. Threes are wild cards and can be played as any value except 2. If someone plays 2 threes, this will clear the table and start a new round (just like when a 2 is played).  If you need to beat a pair of Queens but you only have 1 King in your hand, you can play the King and 3 together to create a pair of Kings. A pair of Kings beats a pair of Queens. If you have a pair of threes in your hand but you don't have any twos, you can clear the table with the threes. Then, try to get rid of the lowest card or cards in your hand to start gameplay again. If a player is not able to play a card, they must take a drink of their beer and pass their turn to the next player. A person can also choose to pass their turn, but they still have to take a drink. Beer is the best alcoholic beverage for this drinking game. Playing with hard liquor or wine will get everyone drunk too quickly!

SUMMARY: Play a single card or set of cards face-up to start the game. Proceed taking turns moving clockwise around the table. Play a higher card or set of cards to beat the previous play. Play a 2 to clear the table and start a new round. Play a single 3 as a wild card or 2 threes to clear the table. Take a drink of your beer if you can’t play a card when it’s your turn.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . You can prevent syphilis transmission by recognizing the symptoms. Syphilis symptoms include skin ulcers, lesions, and rashes inside or around your genital area. Ulcers and lesions can also pop up around the mouth and lips or inside your mouth. Rashes found on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet are also symptoms. Additionally, you might develop a fever, swollen glands, a sore throat, and feel tired and weak. Unfortunately, if you have caught syphilis or if you had syphilis previously and it has relapsed, you might not know because symptoms do not always surface. Ensure that you do not have syphilis by getting tested for it, either by your usual healthcare provider or a local clinic that tests for STIs. If you are at risk for an infection, it is recommended that you get tested at least once a year, if not twice a year. Also, it is recommended that you get tested with each new partner. If caught in its early stages, syphilis can be cured with the right medicine, usually with penicillin G. Home remedies and over-the-counter drugs do not cure syphilis. Once treated, it is recommended that you abstain from all sexual activities for seven days or until your sores are healed to prevent contracting syphilis or transmitting it to other partners.

SUMMARY: Recognize syphilis symptoms Get routine blood tests. Don’t use home remedies or over-the-counter drugs.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many individuals are taught to not really have or express an opinion at all. If this is so, it can feel really uncomfortable to be around someone who not only has a strong opinion, but willing to clearly articulate this fact. And especially so if he or she finds lively debate enjoyable, even seeking it out unsolicited. This can be for a number of reasons:  Cultural differences: Some cultures downplay frank open discussion on sensitive matters, while others treat it as rude not to talk out things. Gender upbringing. Women more often than men tend to be taught to be quiet and demure, not outgoing and outspoken. A woman who is articulate and outspoken may be considered domineering, while a man doing the same thing is often evaluated much more positively. Family upbringing. In some families, children are encouraged to speak up on opinions, while others are taught children are seen and not heard. Birth order can make a difference, too. Personality differences. Some people are more outgoing and judgmental, while others are more concerned with getting along with others and keeping an open mind than on making hard and fast assessments. One personality type is not better than another. The personality type well suited to being a judge may not be the same as one best suited for being a minister. Different people do not see eye-to-eye on the same things. And sometimes this can be difficult for some people to handle. It seems so wrong for another person to feel the way he or she does! But here are some things to remember:  Having a different opinion does not mean he or she is less than you. The opinion is not the same as the person. One can have the same opinion as you, but that does not necessarily make the person better than someone with a different opinion. Listening does not mean agreeing. Simply listening to another person's point of view does not mean you agree with him or her. It just means you are hearing him or her out. You do not have to engage in every argument you are invited to. Some people live to argue, but this can get exhausting. And you will not win every time. And it is OK to simply give a pass to arguments, especially if you have little or nothing to gain or a lot to lose. In most cases, an opinionated person isn't trying to be offensive and might wonder why people avoid him. If you offer empathy instead of judgement, you might be integral in helping him better understand his situation. If you already don’t like the person, it will be difficult to want to get to know him or her better. Even so, try to see the person as a human being, with a family and friends and a life. The more you get to know them as a person, the easier it will be to show empathy. Since the opinionated person has no shortage of opinions to offer, you might be able to use whatever knowledge he or she possesses to your advantage. For instance, the person might know something about office dynamics where you work and be open enough to give you information that no one else will. If the person is a family member, he or she might tell you stories that everyone is too polite to mention. You might be surprised what you’ll learn. Even if you find the person obnoxious, you almost certainly have areas of interest that overlap. If you don’t want to talk about politics, maybe you share an interest in music. Or, if you don’t want to talk about sports, maybe you can discuss adventures with family and parenting. Find those areas you have in common and focus on them.

SUMMARY:
Remember that having an opinion is OK. Remember that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Realize opinionated people might have no insight into their behavior. Try to get to know the person at a deeper level. See the opinionated person as a potential resource. Find common ground.
