9-Ball is usually played one-on-one. If you have more than two people, divide into two teams. In a friendly game, you can play with three or more teams. This is not recommended if some of you are much better at pool than others. You can just flip a coin, but "lagging" is a more entertaining way to decide the first player. On an empty table, every player places a ball just behind the head string. Each player hits his ball at the same time. The goal is to have your ball touch the far end of the table, then bounce back as far as possible without touching the near end or the sides. Whoever gets closest gets to break (see below). Try again if two of the balls touch each other, or if no one manages to hit the end without touching another side. . Pick out the nine balls numbered 1 through 9, and place them inside the rack. Arrange them in a diamond shape, with the 9-ball in the center and the 1-ball closest to the shooter. Place balls in the rest of the diamond at random. The rack goes in the usual place, with the closest point on top of the foot spot. If you can find a diamond-shaped 9-ball rack, use it. If you have to use a triangular 15-ball rack, just make the diamond shape as tightly packed as you can. . Have the first player set down the white cue ball anywhere behind the head string. That player hits the cue ball at the 1-ball to break. The break should pocket one ball, and/or send at least three balls to any rail (side). If neither of these happens, set up the rack again and let the next player break instead.

Q: Acrylic paints adhere better to plastics than most types, so avoid vinyl, lacquer, enamel, or chalkboard spray paints. If available, plastic fusion spray paint is also ideal for adhering to smooth surfaces. Start with one standard can of spray paint and purchase additional cans as needed. Make a note of where you purchased your first can so you know where to find the right color. Your base coat should go on lightly so it sticks well to the primer. Aim your paint can perpendicular to the area you're spraying at about 1012 inches (2530cm) away from the surface. Spray the paint in horizontal sweeps, releasing the tip once you've reached the other side. Slight overlap is okay, but try to apply only one layer at a time. Spray in short spurts instead of a constant stream for a more focused coat. In most cases, you will need to apply at least two to three coats. Each coat should be distinct and applied separately. Consult your spray can's instructions for drying times, and wait until that much time has passed to start on a second coat. Usually, between twenty to thirty minutes is sufficient. Each coat will make your cart's color look richer and more opaque. Continue applying coats until you reach the desired color. Plan out enough time to apply at least three coats of paint, though you may need more to make the color you want.
A: Use an acrylic spray paint. Add a base coat of paint. Let the first coat of paint dry. Apply more coats of paint to achieve a deeper color.

Article: Allow them a moment of disbelief. Make it sound convincing, letting them know that you've been practicing the lost art of telekinesis for a while now. The more they doubt you, the more fun it becomes. Magic tricks are all about confidence and distraction. The more you make it "entertaining," the less they'll scrutinize your hands and the tricks you're actually employing. They'll be too busy having fun to be suspicious if you turn it into more of a show. They will, hopefully, choose the original hand, since it never opened up to deposit the coin in the other hand. If they choose the new hand, demand they explain to you how you could've possibly had the coin change hands if it weren't for your amazing telekinetic powers.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Start your trick by telling your audience that you're going to magically switch a coin from one hand to the other. Ask a volunteer to say which hand the coin is in.

Article: Over the counter pain relievers can help relieve pain and may reduce inflammation. Using one in combination with prolotherapy and other treatments may relieve your heel pain more quickly. Take ibuprofen or naproxen sodium to help relieve your heel pain. These can also reduce inflammation that causes pain. One of the best ways to treat your heel pain, especially after prolotherapy, is to give your heel sufficient rest. This includes staying off of your heel as much as possible and placing as little pressure on your heel as possible when walking. Your doctor may suggest a specific amount of time to rest your heel or you can wait until you don't have any more pain. It may take as little as a month or up to six months for your heel to heal. You should also avoid activities that put stress on your heels such as running during this time. Consider low-impact sports such as swimming or bicycling if you still want to get some physical activity. These can keep you active while giving your heel a rest. Avoid standing for long periods or walking on hard surfaces to give your heel further rest. Ask your prolotherapist if using crutches for a few days can help your heel rest. This can also help you be more mobile. Ice is a good way to reduce pain and inflammation in your heel. Putting an ice pack or using an ice massager on your heel for 15-20 minutes three times a day may help your heel heal faster and relieve your discomfort. Use an ice pack that you purchase or make your own with a bag of frozen peas. Make an ice massager by filling a paper or Styrofoam cup with cool water. Freeze the water on a flat surface until it is a solid block of ice. Then roll it on your heel for 5-7 minutes. Doing a couple of simple home stretches every day can also help relieve pain and promote healing. You can hold the following stretches for 10 seconds each and work up to 20 repetitions by: Leaning forward against a wall, keeping one knee straight and lowering your heel to the ground. Bend your other knee. Lean into the wall as much as you can to stretch your heel cord and foot arch. Keep the knee fully extended on the side you're stretching. Lean forward onto a countertop and spread your feet apart so that one foot is in front of the other. Then flex your knees and squat. Press your heels into the ground for as long as you can. As your heels come up in the stretch, this will stretch your arch and heel cords. If you are having a hard time performing heel stretches at home, consider seeing a physical therapist. He or she can guide you in different exercises that strengthen your lower leg muscles, which support your ankle and heel. In addition, the therapist will show you a series of stretches for your plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. Ask the physical therapist about using athletic tape to support the bottom of your foot and reduce pain. You may also want to ask if night splints are something that may help you. Night splints will stretch your calf and the arch of your foot. What shoes you wear can have a big impact on heel pain. Wearing a pair of supportive shoes or a commercial orthotic can help your heel heal and reduce pain. Replace any athletic shoes before they stop cushioning and supporting your feet. Avoid high heels and any shoes without arch support or shock absorbency. Get yourself a heel cup or wedge, both of which can provide pain relief. You can find these at most drugstores. In most cases, custom orthotics aren't needed for heel pain. If you have chronic heel pain that hasn't responded to prolotherapy or home treatments, talk to your doctor about extracorporeal shock wave therapy. This treatment requires directing sound waves at the heel pain to stimulate healing. This may not be the most effective treatment for heel pain and may come with side effects such as bruising, swelling, pain, numbness, and tingling.
