Article: There are a number of alterations you can make to the general idea of passing. A couple extra regulations are common: Some people play that if you can beat the previous play, you must. Passing is only allowed if you are unable to play. Typically, this makes the game less interesting and doesn't allow for strategy. Some people do not allow a player who has passed to play at subsequent turns during the same trick. If you pass, you must wait until someone wins the trick and leads again. This can get rather boring for the person with an incredibly bad hand. If the people who play before you lay a 5 and then a 6 consecutively and you put 7, you can call "runs." Then the next cards will be forced to go in sequence, 5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A. If anyone can't contribute in order, they will be dropped out of the round. If you're playing this as a drinking game, you may want to up the ante. Odds are the King will want to search the depths of his mind for the most annoying, abuse-of-power rules out there, but here are a few to start off with: Thumb Master: When the King puts his thumb down on the table, everyone must immediately follow suit. The last person to do so must drink. Anyone who makes eye contact with the King must drink. Before the hand starts, someone must give the King a toast (this is an opportune time to kiss-ass to the King). If no toast is presented, the King can give out his own punishment. The King designates a player (or commands that the Asshole do so) to get everyone's drinks as long as he is ruler of the land.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Establish extra rules about passing. Play with runs. Have the King make obnoxious rules.

Article: Since the main source of the H. Pylori bacteria is not yet known, you should always practice proper personal hygiene and hand washing. You should wash your hands thoroughly and often, especially after using the restroom or before handling food. Proper hand washing starts with warm water, at least 120 degrees, and a decent sized helping of liquid soap. Place the soap in your hands and wet them briefly. Wash them for a total of 15-30 seconds, scrubbing around your fingers, along the front and back of your palms, and around your fingernails, and under jewelry. Then, rinse them in the warm water and dry them with a clean, sanitized towel or clean paper towel. When you are in a non-industrialized nation, eat only in restaurants with sanitation standards similar to an industrialized country's standard of sanitation. Kitchen utensils should be washed in hot water with antibacterial soap. Once the utensils are cleansed, they may become reinfected if handled by a carrier who has touched his mouth or not properly washed his hands after using the restroom. Because of this, ensure that you only eat at places where employees wear gloves as well. The use of hand sanitizer is helpful in these questionable scenarios. If you are married to or in a relationship with someone infected or if you have a family member who has H. Pylori, you should be very careful with your interactions with them. If you are married or dating someone infected, do not kiss them or engage in any sort of sexual activity until they have been treated for the infection. Also keep their toothbrush, cups, and utensils in a different area so the bacteria cannot be transmitted through saliva. You should also not let anyone in your family with the bacterial infection prepare food, serve drinks, or touch things that are consumed so they cannot transmit the bacteria accidentally through touch or other contamination. If a family member gets sick with the bacterial infection, you need to get checked as well. In terms of prevention, eradication is a large part of avoiding the bacteria in the future. Since it is thought to be spread by poor hygiene and sanitary conditions within families, it is recommended that, to eradicate H. Pylori from your family, all family members get tested for the H. Pylori bacteria. If a family member is positive, they must be treated then retested for the bacteria after 4 weeks of treatment. Reinfection can occur and start the cycle over if you do not make sure that the bacteria is eradicated from the entire household.
