Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get into a comfortable position and quiet yourself for prayer. Recite the first half of the prayer on the Saint Therese prayer card. Make your request to Saint Therese. Close by placing emphasis on your good intentions. Repeat the prayer daily over the course of 9 days. Follow the prayer with 24 "Glory Be to the Father" prayers.

Answer: You can say the prayer any time of day and anywhere you want. However, many people prefer to pray in a special, quiet place, such as their bedroom or in a church. You may stand, sit, or kneel depending on what feels most comfortable to you. Some people also light candles while they pray to help them focus. If you have a prayer candle, try lighting it before you get started. The prayer varies depending on who produced the card, but it goes something like this: "Oh Glorious Saint Therese, whom Almighty God raised up to aid and inspire us, I implore your Miraculous Intercession. You are so powerful in obtaining every need of body and spirit from the Heart of God. Holy Mother Church proclaims you 'Prodigy of Miracles' and 'the Greatest Saint of Modern Times.'" Another option you might try is: "St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I thee implore and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more." Say, "I pray that you will answer my petition if it is God's will," and then say what you're asking for. Be very specific about your needs and express them honestly to Saint Therese. For example, if you have a loved one who is experiencing health problems, say their name and what they're going through. Then, ask Saint Therese intercede on behalf of them to God and to help them heal. It's important to close with something about your intentions. Say that you intend to live as Saint Therese did and demonstrate your love for God through your words and actions. Try saying something like, "Little Flower, please grant me your childlike faith. I wish to see God working in my daily life, and love God more every day. Saint Therese, I will fulfill your plea and continue to lead others to Jesus through you. Amen." Novenas are meant to be said every day for a set period of time. Traditionally, Saint Therese's novena is said every day for 9 days. Make sure that you remember to say the prayer every day. Set a reminder for yourself on your phone or leave yourself a note somewhere you will see it, such as on your bathroom mirror. If possible, recite the prayer daily between the 9th and 17th of the month. These are dates when people traditionally say Saint Therese's novena, so if you say it during this time, you'll be joining with many other people in prayer. Each day after you finish your prayer to Saint Therese, say the "Glory Be to the Father" prayer 24 times1 time for each of the years Saint Therese spent on Earth. The "Glory Be" prayer is as follows: "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize smells that indicate a problem. Call a professional if you notice the scent of gas. Seek professional treatment for tobacco smells.

Answer: A fishy smell may indicate antifreeze is leaking into your car. Smells that come from the heat or AC system may indicate mechanical problems. These issues could be dangerous and indicate your car needs repairs, so take your car to a mechanic if you're having trouble with these smells. If your car smells like gas, do not attempt to treat the issue on your own. This can be very dangerous, as it indicates a leak somewhere in the car. Do not drive your car. Instead, immediately contact a mechanic for advice. Tobacco scents can get into a car's interior and usually cannot be removed without professional help. Even thorough cleanings do not always lift tobacco smells. If your car smells like tobacco, you will need professional cleaning to lift the odor. Keep in mind, even professional cleaning does not have a 100% success rate at lifting tobacco odor, especially if a car was driven for years by a heavy smoker.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify the smaller acute angle associated with the reflex angle. Draw a vertical line connecting the rays of the acute angle. Measure the rise and the run of the acute angle. Divide rise by run to find the slope of the acute angle. Use your calculator to find the degrees of the acute angle. Subtract the degrees of the acute angle from 360.

Answer: A reflex angle has more than 180 degrees but fewer than 360. This means that if you look at the reflex angle, you'll also see an acute angle inside the rays of the reflex angle. By determining the degrees of the acute angle, you can calculate the degrees in the reflex angle. You can use the basic slope equation and the inverse tangent function on your scientific calculator to find the degrees in the acute angle. Line up the short end of your ruler with the ray of the angle that is horizontal rather than diagonal. Then draw a vertical line that meets the horizontal ray of the angle. The horizontal line becomes the adjacent side of your triangle, and the vertical line becomes the opposite side of the acute angle you want to measure. In the equation "slope = rise/run," the rise is the length of the vertical line, or opposite side of your triangle. The run is the length of the horizontal line, or adjacent side of your triangle. Measure the horizontal line from the vertex to the point where it meets the vertical line. Measure the vertical line from the point where it meets the horizontal line to the point where it meets the diagonal line. Plug the values you found for the length of the vertical and horizontal lines into your slope equation. When you divide the length of the vertical line by the length of the horizontal line, you'll get the slope for the angle. For example, if your horizontal line measured 8 and your vertical line measured 4, your equation would be "slope = 4/8." The slope of your angle would be 0.5. Type the value you got for the slope of the angle into your scientific calculator, then press the inverse tangent button (tan-1). The value displayed is the degrees of the smaller acute angle. To continue the example, if your slope is 0.5, the acute angle would measure 26.565 degrees. A circle has 360 degrees. Since a reflex angle is an angle of more than 180 degrees, you relate it as a portion of a circle. The degrees of the reflex angle and the degrees of the smaller acute angle would add up to 360. To continue the example, if the smaller acute angle measures 26.565 degrees, the reflex angle would measure 333.435 degrees.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: 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.

Answer:
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 pointsit'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.
