Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set up a trap with bait. Poison the rodent. Hire an exterminator. Rely on a pet.

Answer: There are many different types of traps that vary in terms of if and how they kill what they trap. Choose the trap that you like best, and make sure to place a highly desired piece of food properly in the trap to successfully attract the mouse or rat.  Try a snap trap. These traps are set off by the removal of the bait. When the rodent attempts to take the snack that is carefully placed in the trap, the mechanism snaps a wire down and kills it nearly instantly by snapping the rodent’s neck. To catch but not kill, choose a cage trap. When the mouse or rat steps on the pan located inside the trap, the treadle is tripped and the door closes. This traps the rodent without killing it. Avoid a sticky trap. This kind of trap has a special glue on it that sticks permanently to the rodent’s feet. This is one of the least humane options because the trapped mouse or rat starves to death slowly. There are many different types of rodenticide, so pick the right one by assessing the environmental conditions and the severity of the infestation. Poison is often delivered to mice and rats via bait station. These “stations” are pellets packaged in a paper or cellophane material. After gnawing through the packaging and ingesting the pellets, the rodent dies. Contact a professional rodent exterminator if you’ve tried a few different methods and you’re still having problems, or if you aren’t comfortable trapping or killing mice and rats. Ask around for recommendations, call the exterminator, and ask for a quote. Also, be sure to ask if the professional is licensed by the state, so that you know whether or not their business is legitimate. Cats and sometimes even dogs have a natural “killer instinct” and will hunt and kill rats and mice in their living space. Getting a new pet may take care of decreasing the rodent population in and around your home.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Activate the Warrior’s Stone and get a good night’s rest. Buy/collect iron ingots and leather strips. Mine ore while you’re out adventuring. Turn the mineral ore into gold and silver ore using Transmute Mineral Ore spell. Sell your jewelry to pay for training. Craft Dwarven Ingots. Upgrade armor at high levels.

Answer: These two things will give you a large experience bonus, up to 35%. You can find the Warrior’s Stone to the southwest of Riverwood. Craft iron daggers over and over as they require the least amount of material to make (1 Iron Ingot, 1 Leather Strip). You’ll be able to use this ore to craft jewelry and raise your level. Keep any jewels you find or receive as rewards. This will give you lots of material to make jewelry with. You can find this spell at the Halted Stream Camp. Crafting jewelry will raise your Smithing skill, and you can sell this jewelry to make money and purchase more Smithing training. The training is fairly inexpensive up to level 50, and should be easily purchasable with your jewelry profits. You can make these from scrap metals you find in Dwemer ruins. Using Dwarven ingots, create upgraded Dwarven Bows. These will raise your Smithing level significantly. When you’ve reached high levels of Smithing, the best way to keep leveling is to purchase armor from blacksmiths and then upgrade it. You can use items like the Necklace of Haggling to sell the armor back and make a profit from the endeavor as well. Keep upgrading armor to reach Smithing level 100.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have conversation starters ready. Discuss an exit strategy ahead of time. Leave if it gets hostile. Limit contact.

Answer: Give suggestions to your spouse and/or your family ahead of time to help pave the way for better relations. Suggest “safe” discussion topics to both parties.  Tell your spouse or your family about common interests. For example, “John, I’m not sure if I mentioned that you and my brother both love skiing.” Bring up each other’s interesting hobbies. Perhaps your grandmother has fascinating travel stories she loves to share, or your spouse coaches soccer on weekends. Make sure to mention what kinds of conversation topics to avoid as well. As a general rule, politics and religion are bad to discuss unless you are sure everyone is on the same page with their beliefs. If your spouse struggles to get along with your family and finds family events stressful, have a plan in place to leave if needed. You may decide to:  Give your family a departure time when you arrive. For example, “We need to leave by noon. We have to pick up a friend from the airport.” Have your spouse send you a text message when they are ready to go. Have your spouse give you a prearranged signal, like a gesture or a phrase that means they want to leave. For example, your partner could stand behind you and rub your shoulders to indicate they want to go, while you are still around your family members. Let your spouse know acceptable ways to check out for a bit, if leaving isn’t an option. For example, “In my family, no one cares if we’re all sitting together and someone is reading a newspaper or magazine. You can do this if you feel like you need a break and no one will question you.” If a fight breaks out in the middle of a family event between your spouse and your family, or if your family is consistently treating your spouse poorly, enforce a break and leave with your spouse. Try not to let your partner leave the event alone. You want to indicate to your family that you are supporting your spouse.  For example, you could say, “I think this situation is getting to be stressful for everyone. Kate and I are going to leave now. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I am getting upset and we need to take a break.” If you are at an event where you can’t get away easily (for example, on vacation), call a timeout for a few hours or the remainder of the day. In the meantime, get as much physical distance as you can between you and your spouse and your family. If the relationship between your family and your spouse continues to deteriorate, consider limiting their exposure to each other, perhaps confined to holidays or important family events.  Discuss with your spouse how much family time will be acceptable to both of you so you have a plan ready when the next invitation comes. You may wish to reveal the reasons that your spouse is no longer accompanying you to family events, but you do not have to. You can make an excuse for your spouse (for example, they have to work), if you feel that will be a better way to keep the peace. You may find that a cooling off period is all your family or your spouse require, and they may be able to move forward after a break. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, after all. You may also find your family or your spouse more willing to make an effort after a significant life change, like the birth of a child, a death in the family, or a move.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify problems with excessive bleeding and lack of clotting. Think about genetic risk factors. Rule out other factors that could make blood thin.

Answer:
The main symptom of hemophilia is that you have a hard time clotting after you start bleeding. Clotting does not usually happen instantaneously but if you have a small cut or a small nosebleed it should begin within a few minutes. If you can't seem to get even a small cut to stop bleeding, then you may have hemophilia. To get a cut to stop bleeding, apply pressure to it with a sterile bandage. Once the bleeding slows down, do not remove the bandage. Simply continue pressure and keep the bandage on so that the clot does not get pulled off the injury. Since hemophilia is a genetic disorder, it is usually passed down from parents to children. If your parents have hemophilia, you are at greater risk of getting it. Additionally, hemophilia occurs in males more often than in women.  Ask your parents if they have it or if any of their relatives have it. In many cases, you will already know if your parents have hemophilia. If they do, you are more likely to have it. Hemophilia is a mutation that occurs on the X-chromosome. Men have both X and Y chromosomes, and women have two X chromosomes. This means that to have hemophilia, men only need one mutation in the X chromosome whereas women would require two--one on each X chromosome. So while hemophilia appears more often in men than women, women can carry the gene and pass it on to their sons. There are some reasons you may bleed a lot that have nothing to do with hemophilia. Before you assume that you have this condition, you should rule out possible other causes.  For example, if you are taking anticoagulant drugs, which limit clotting, you will bleed longer. There are many medications that can make you blood thin and inhibit your ability to clot, including warfarin (Coumadin, enoxaparin (Lovenox), clopidogrel (Plavix), ticlopidine (Ticlid), aspirin, and NSAIDS, such as Ibuprofen. Other types of anticoagulants include factor Xa inhibitors (Xarelto, Eliquis, Arixtra) and thrombin inhibitors (Angiomax, Pradaxa). Consult with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the medications that you are taking might thin your blood and limit clotting.  If you are having unexplained bleeding it could be due to foods that contain salicylate, which naturally thins the blood, or even excessive intake of alcohol. High doses of of garlic, ginger, fish oil, and vitamin E supplements may also act as anticoagulants.
