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.

Summary: Set up a trap with bait. Poison the rodent. Hire an exterminator. Rely on a pet.


The Wither explodes once its health bar fills up entirely; the explosion alone is enough to wipe you out in one shot, so put as much space as you can between you and the Wither before it finishes spawning. The Wither knows exactly where you are at all times, and it blows up any blocks that it touches. Your best bet is to retreat while attacking as you go rather than hiding and waiting for an opportunity. Don't stop if the Wither is anywhere near you, since doing so makes you an easy target. A fraction of a health slot can be the difference between surviving the fight and succumbing to the Wither. If you have a bow and arrow, sniping the Wither while backing up is your best bet. Unfortunately, the Wither will become impervious to arrows once its health reaches 50 percent. Once the Wither is down to 50 percent health, it will drop down to your level. This is your chance to hit the Wither quickly with your sword, so do so while circling the Wither.  Avoiding the Wither's attacks while hitting it as much as possible is the only way to proceed from this point until the Wither dies. The Wither regenerates health, so your attacks have to be consistent. Once you defeat the Wither, make sure you pick up the nether star it drops. The nether star can be used to create a beacon.

Summary: Retreat as far back as possible. Refrain from hiding. Keep moving. Heal as often as possible. Use arrows for the first half of the fight. Hit the Wither as quickly as possible. Loot the Wither when the fight is over.


A latte is made by blending one or more shots of espresso with steamed (not boiled) milk. The boldness of the espresso and the creaminess of the milk complement each other, making a delicious drink with enough liquid to sip for a while. You may also be able to order a flat white, which is a variation of a latte developed in Australia and New Zealand. It uses less milk in a smaller cup. While mochas are sometimes marketed as separate drinks, they’re really just a latte with chocolate syrup added. The combination of espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate can be irresistible. A cappuccino is espresso blended with a small amount of steamed milk and topped with milk foam. It contains less liquid than a latte, but since the espresso is not as diluted, it can be more flavorful. Cappuccinos can be served “wet,” with more steamed milk (almost like a latte), or “dry,” with almost none. Traditionally, a macchiato is made by topping an espresso with a small amount of milk foam to cut its intensity. Some coffee shops still serve it this way. At Starbucks and similar cafes, however, a macchiato refers to a sweet drink that is basically a latte with added flavor (like caramel syrup). An au lait is made by blending brewed coffee and steamed milk, in roughly equal proportions. Because it is made with brewed coffee, it has a different flavor than a latte.

Summary: Order a latte if you want a drink to sip. Turn your latte into a mocha. Get a cappuccino to preserve more espresso flavor. Ask your barista how they prepare a macchiato. Try an au lait for a classic treat.


Stretch marks on areas like the back are especially common among individuals who gain mass in either the form of fat or muscle. If you are looking to intentionally add size, try to do so in a controlled fashion over the course of many months rather than packing it all on as quickly as possible. If you are specifically looking to build muscle, it may help to work with a trainer who can help you pace out your muscle growth. Using a lotion or skin oil regularly helps keep it hydrated and encourage new tissue growth. While new tissue can’t prevent stretch marks, it may help reduce the time it takes them to fade, which in turn may help you feel more comfortable with their appearance. Apply a moisturizing lotion every morning and again right before bed using a lotion brush to reach all the areas of your back. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help control rapid change in body size and provide your body with the nutrients it needs to encourage healthy skin growth. Try to eat a diet rich in protein and healthy fats, and with limited amounts of carbohydrates, saturated fats, and transfats. Moderate exercise for thirty to fifty minutes four to five times a week is also encouraged to help maintain a healthy body and prevent stretch marks on the back.
Summary: Control rapid change in body size. Keep skin hydrated. Maintain a healthy lifestyle.
