INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A mantra is just a simple phrase or word that you repeat over and over. You use it to clear your mind in meditation. For instance, one of the traditional phrases is "om," usually drawn out ("ommmmm"). However, you can use any phrase you want from "I love life" to "No more fear." To try it out, take a moment to close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Repeat your phrase over and over, focusing your thoughts only on your mantra. If your mind wanders, focus back on your mantra. One way to meditate is to simply focus on your breathing. Sit quietly with your eyes closed. Pay attention only to your breathing as you try to slow it down. If it helps, try counting to eight as you breathe in and to eight as you breathe out. Your mind will wander off, but just bring it back to your breathing. Another way to meditate, which you can do almost anywhere, is to focus your attention on what your body is feeling. Sit or stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Focus your attention on what your muscles are feeling.  For instance, on a subway, you might feel the movement under your feet. Sitting a park, you might just feel the weight of your body on the bench, the breeze on your face, the solidness of the ground under your feet.  By focusing on what your body is feeling, you're pulling yourself out of your mind and calming down. Walking meditation is similar to breathing meditation; that is you focus on your breathing to pull yourself out of your head. However, you also focus on the steps you are taking as well.  Slow down your pace. When you're using walking meditation, you need to be aware of each step, and you can only do that if you slow down your walking. The great thing about walking meditation is that you can do it almost anytime, even going around the grocery store.

SUMMARY: Try using a mantra. Focus on your breathing. Meditate anywhere. Use walking meditation.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Ask for details about the party, and make sure the event will be baby-friendly. Make a decision about attending the party based on this information. Some things to consider:  Will the party be inside or outside? If outside, what will the weather be like? You may decide that your baby is not yet ready to handle an outdoor party in extreme temperatures or very windy weather. How many people will be there? If the party will be very noisy and crowded, you may want to skip the event. Babies tend to get distressed in large crowds. Will there be a lot of smoke? If many of the guests will be smoking, you should either skip the party or find a babysitter. You don’t want to expose your infant to smoke. Will other babies or children be present? You may not feel comfortable being the only person at the party with a child in tow. More experienced parents may be able to give you some advice about bringing your baby along to a party. If these people will be at the same event, that’s even better!
Summary: Inquire about the party. Talk to other parents.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Open up your rabbit’s hutch or enclosure to look around and smell it. Check for any areas that are particularly damp or any areas with waste in them that haven’t been cleaned recently. If the odor is coming from the rabbit’s hutch, you might not be cleaning it often enough. Clean out any soiled or dirtied hay in the rabbit’s hutch each morning and replace it with new hay for your rabbit to sit in.  If you can’t clean the hutch each day, you should be doing it every other day at the absolute minimum. If you don’t want to clean out the entire hutch, you could try litter train your rabbit so you only have to clean a small area or a litter tray. Your rabbit’s enclosure should smell like clean hay, which many find quite pleasant. If you smell anything stronger than this, it’s likely that you’ve found the source of the stink. Even if you’re cleaning out soiled hay each morning, some bad smelling substances can seep into the hutch itself. Clean the hutch thoroughly once each week by removing everything, scrubbing the hutch down with warm soapy water, misting lightly with white vinegar to disinfect it, and rinsing thoroughly with water. You should also clean your rabbit’s food bowl and its water bottle or bowl when you clean out the hutch weekly. If the hutch is still wet or damp when you put hay back into it, the hay may begin to rot and produce a bad smell. Let your rabbit run around freely or keep it in a small, temporary cage while the hutch dries completely.  You should be able to tell by touch if the hutch is still damp. Feel the inside for any dampness, leaving it to dry for longer if it is still wet. As long as you keep a few doors closed to prevent the rabbit from traveling too far, it should be perfectly content hopping around your home while its hutch dries.

SUMMARY:
Inspect the rabbit's hutch to determine if it's the source of the smell. Replace soiled hay each morning. Clean the whole hutch thoroughly once a week. Leave the hutch to dry in the sun for 3 to 4 hours.
