In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is easy to forget things when you don't take the time to engage with them – when your mind is already slipping off of the surface of the memory, and leaping to the next thing. Take a moment to breathe. Be exactly where you are. If you make this moment a significant and conscious act of storing a memory, you may find it much easier to recall the memory later.  Listen. If you meet someone and she tells you her name: take a moment to fully engage with this person. You still might not remember everything, but it should be easier to link the name with a face if you are absolutely present when you store the memory.  If you want to remember where you left an object: take a moment to be aware of where you are leaving it. If you're setting your keys down, visualize the keys as they rest on the wood grain of the table, surrounded by books, and cups, and other things. Capture the image in your mind so that you can recall it later. It can be hard to remember everything that you hear, especially when you hear multiple pieces of information at once. Memory is a primarily visual function. If you link new information to things that you can see and imagine, you may find it much easier to recall the "linked" memories. If you meet four new people, and they all introduce themselves to you at once, try linking each name to one major physical characteristic of each person. For instance, Bill might have a large bill on his baseball cap, and Sandra might have light, sandy hair. If you are leaving something somewhere, imagine that it explodes, or grows, or comes to life as soon as you set it down. Picture every detail. Conjure a vivid mental image that links your memory of the object to a specific time and place. Try to make "memory spots" by linking your mental images to a room that you frequent, or to an object that you use every day. It is well-documented that we remember things best when they are grouped with other things. Try to put things into categories or chains. Break up large bits pieces of information into smaller bits of information.  Try chunking verbal information into poetic sound and metrical structures – songs, or verses, or just simple rhymes. For thousands of years, humans passed down stories and information between spans of generations without any formal writing system. Rhyming is one way of chunking verbal information, but so are stanzas; paragraphs; and even sentences.  If you need to remember a long chain of numbers, break it up into smaller bits. For instance, remember 459012476390 as "459 012 476 390" or "4590 1247 6390." There is a reason that phone numbers, social security numbers, and other important chains of information are broken up into sections. When you learn something new, find a way to tie it into what you already know. Make it relevant to your life and your knowledge base. Try using mnemonics to create more mental connections around a given bit of information. Come up with a handy acronym, or try to remember the new thing as a subset of something you already know.#*If you are trying to remember how to find a physical location, try to tie it into your existing mental map. Memorize each twist and turn that led you to the place. Link the spot in your mind to another place that you know.
Summary: Be mindful about creating memories. Engage your visual memory. Use your imagination. Chunk information. Link information.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Owls like to scout their potential prey from the tops of trees and other high structures. When possible, remove trees and other potential perches that are within 100 yd (91 m) of your animals’ enclosures or your home. Be sure that the trees or other perches in your area are on your property, and not a neighbor’s, before having them removed. If they are on a neighbor’s property, discuss your concerns regarding owls in the area and find out if removing perching locations is an option. If you’re unable to remove a tree or other perching area, try placing large roosting spikes where you have seen owls or other predatory birds hanging out. Roosting spikes can be purchased online and at home improvement stores, and are often called “pigeon spikes” because they are also used to deter pigeons from perching.   These spikes can be especially helpful to place near your gutters, as owls will also sometimes use a roof ledge as their place to spy on smaller animals. Because the spikes don’t harm birds, and simply prevent them from gathering in a favorite location, they are a favorite legal means of getting wild birds to move to a different location. Barriers may not work if an owl has a nest nearby; it will find other places in the vicinity to perch and hunt. If a nearby owl nest is causing you problems, do not attempt to relocate the owls or nest on your own. Owls can become defensive of their nests and attack intruders, causing injuries with their beaks and talons. Professional authorities will provide you with guidance on how to handle problems arising from a nearby owl nest. They will be able to use professional methods to trap and relocate the owl and its nest.
Summary: Remove perching areas from the vicinity when possible. Place roosting spikes on perching areas. Call professional wildlife authorities if your barriers do not work.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Leaning yourself back at an angle of about forty degrees is recommended when trying to sleep upright. If you are in a seat on an airplane, train, bus, etc. it may lean back slightly. If you are elsewhere, a reclining armchair is a good choice if you can find one. Otherwise, just lean against a surface at a slight angle. If you are not sleeping in a chair or other surface that is cushioned, you will want to make things more comfortable using the bedding you gathered. Even if your site is already cushioned, you may find a blanket and pillow makes things more comfortable for you.  Put a blanket, pillow, or mat on the ground or floor underneath you.  Put a blanket, pillow, cushion, or other padding behind you. This will provide support for your back.  Roll up a blanket or towel and place it or a small pillow behind you at your lower back. This will provide extra support for your lumbar region and minimize soreness. Place a thin pillow behind your neck. This will allow your head to fall slightly backwards, which can make it easier to fall asleep. Specialty neck pillows are made for this purpose, but you can use whatever you have available. Once you've prepared your sleep site and cushioned support, lean back and use your blanket to cover you. This can provide warmth and comfort, making it easier for you to fall asleep. If you don't have a blanket, try using a coat, sweater, or anything similar that's available. Read a book, listen to music, or whatever else helps you relax and go to sleep. Even though you are sitting up, this routine can help you fall asleep as you normally would.  Many people find that warm drinks or tea can help them become comfortable and sleepy (just stay away from caffeinated beverages). Chamomile tea is a good choice because it has a calming effect and is naturally caffeine-free.  Meditation and/or breathing exercises are also recognized as calming techniques. A simple breathing exercise is to inhale for a count of 3 or 4, then exhale for a count of six or eight. A few repetitions of this can be very helpful when trying to calm down and go to sleep sitting up. Avoid television, computers, tablets, smartphones and similar devices when you are trying to go sleep sitting up, as the blue light from electronic screens disrupts the body's inclination to sleep.  Don't get discouraged if you don't fall asleep immediately. Just try to relax and get the best rest you can.
Summary:
Recline yourself. Make your sleep site more comfortable. Use your blanket. Try to approximate your sleep routine.
