Article: A zafu pillow is a pillow specifically designed for Zen meditation. If you find Zen meditation is helpful for you, you can purchase a zafu pillow online. This can help you easily get into the right position each time you meditate. Beginners sometimes worry they're bad at meditation. You may find it difficult to clear your mind and focus on your breathing. Do not get frustrated and beat yourself up. It's very normal for meditation to be somewhat difficult at first. Cut yourself some slack and keep practicing. Eventually, meditating will become easier.  Keep in mind, even people who meditate regularly never completely clear their minds. It's normal to have to stop and redirect your thinking to your breathing once in awhile. Do not feel like getting distracted means you're meditating incorrectly. More advanced meditators may try to clear their minds completely but Buddha Shakyamuni warned against too obsessed with clearing the mind.. Many Zen masters recognize that the safest way is to substitute all wandering thoughts in mind with one single yet powerful thought - Buddha Amitabha, as highlighted in The Amitabha Sutra (Sukhāvatī-vyūha). Start off with small sessions and build up. After you're comfortable meditating in short spurts, start adding on a few more minutes each week. Eventually, you'll be able to meditate for longer periods. There is no one size fits all rule for meditation. You may find very long meditation sessions, such as 25 minute sessions, help you relax. However, you may also find brief five to 10 minute sessions are sufficient. Experiment with different time frames until you find something you're comfortable with. It can be helpful to meditate with the assistance of an instructor. Check online to see if you can find Zen meditation classes in your area. This can help you improve your meditation technique so Zen meditation is more effective for you. If you can't find a class in your area, look for guided routines online.

Problem: Article: Wrinkles in your shirt and other clothes are caused by friction between it and other items in your luggage. To minimize friction, save the plastic pouch that your shirt came in or any dry-cleaning bags. Once you’ve folded each shirt, slip it into a bag. Plastic limits the amount of friction created between two objects, so limit yourself to one shirt per bag, since two shirts rubbing up on each other will defeat the whole point.  To reduce friction even further, use plastic when folding, too. Lay one dry-cleaner bag (or similarly sized sheet of plastic) over the back of your shirt before you begin. Then, once you finish folding your sleeves, lay another bag or sheet over them before you fold the shirt in half.  For extra insurance against other items in your luggage, pack all your belongings in resealable plastic bags to protect your shirts and other clothes from friction, dirt, and spills. The longer a shirt is folded, the more time creases and other wrinkles have to set in. When packing ahead of time, hold off on your clothes for as long as you can without having to rush it. Once you arrive at your hotel, unpack your clothes and hang your shirts up on hangers first thing. To avoid packing in a rush, do a practice run before you clean and iron your shirts. Fold and bag them as you would when packing for real. Gather everything else you’re bringing with you and figure out the best way to arrange them in your luggage so you know exactly what to fit where ahead of time. Prevent your shirt and other items from flopping around inside your luggage by filling it all the way. If necessary, roll up extra t-shirts, socks, or other soft items to fill empty space, even if you won’t be needing them. At the same time, be careful not to cram too much in, since overstuffing will cause your packed items to squish into each other. This is another reason for doing a test-run with packing before cleaning and ironing your shirt.
Summary: Bag your shirts in plastic. Keep shirts folded for as short a time as possible. Pack your luggage full without overstuffing.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Slice the cooked bamboo shoots into thin strips. Also chop up the onion, garlic, and chili pepper. Open the chili pepper pieces to scrape out the seeds. Add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil to a wok or large pan. Turn the heat up to a medium setting and wait for the oil to get hot. Peanut oil works well in a stir-fry and can be used in place of the olive oil. Stir the sliced bamboo shoots into the oil. After a few minutes, you should be able to smell the shoots cooking. They will also shrivel up from losing moisture. When you notice this, use a spoon to scoop the shoots out of the pan and set them aside. Pour the rest of the oil into the pan. It should heat up right away. You can turn the heat up to high in order to get the other ingredients done faster. Stir the cut-up ingredients into the oil. After about a minute, you should be able to smell the ingredients cooking. Dump the pork in the pot, stirring it in with the other ingredients. Cook it until it browns and appears cooked through. Mix in the salt to season the pork. Pour in the wine next. Mix the ingredients around to coat them in it. Leave the pan to cook for another minute. First, add the bamboo shoots back into the pan. Follow it with the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chicken broth. Mix everything together to ready it for the final few minutes of cooking. For the final 2 minutes, stir the ingredients in the pot every few seconds. This activates and infuses the flavors in all of the ingredients. Gradually pour the sesame oil into the pan. Stir the ingredients one last time to distribute the oil evenly. As soon as you are done, serve and enjoy the stir-fry. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It should last a couple of days.

SUMMARY: Cut up the vegetables and chili pepper. Heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the shoots for a few minutes until they shrivel up. Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Cook the garlic, onion, and chili for a few minutes. Brown and season the pork. Add the wine and cook it for 1 minute. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Cook the ingredients for 2 minutes. Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry.

Baits are the most effective way to kill ants because they take the poison back to their nests. You need both sugary baits and protein/grease baits to draw out different types of ants. Baits draw ants in, so they won't be effective if you place them in an area with a chemical that repels them. You can use stakes or plastic bait containers. Some are one-time use, while others can be refilled. Refillable ones can be useful if you have a continual problem. Choose places near anthills and trails. Keep them away from areas where pets or kids will be, as they are poisonous. Space them about 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 m) away from each other. These types of baits take awhile to work, as the ants must carry them throughout their nests. As they get low, add more insecticide to keep the ants well-fed with pesticide.

Use this method as the first line of defense. Buy a range of ant baits. Don't place them near where you've sprayed insecticide. Pick a type of bait station. Place the baits. Wait patiently. Refill traps as needed.
