Article: Memory pegs are things that information hooks onto inside your brain. Use this method to associate images with the things you need to memorize. Each number will be given a word that represents an object.  For example, 1 will be given “bun,” 2 will be given “shoe,” 3 will be given “tree,” and so on. This method is particularly useful for a visual learner. For each of the words assigned to each number, imagine that object. Imagine a shoe for the number 2. Have a clear image in your mind and always think of the same type of shoe for this number. Give each planet a number in the order that they need to be memorized. Mercury will be 1, Venus will be 2, Earth will be 3, and so on. Connect your number image (1-bun, 2-shoe, etc.) with your planet name. For example, connect Mercury and bun (1) by imagining a hamburger bun with a thermometer sticking out of it. Go through each image set and link the images together. Go systematically, reviewing them one by one. Give yourself a written test to see how well you remember the image sets. Continue to work on linking the images together.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Assign each number a rhyming object. Associate an image with the numbers’ words. Assign planets to each number. Associate your image with the planet. Review your image sets in your mind.

Problem: Article: If you have a charcoal grill, fill your chimney starter, soak the briquettes with charcoal lighter fluid, and light 'em up. Carefully, of course. Your eyebrows look good on you.  Allow about 20 to 30 minutes to burn off the lighter fluid and get the coals evenly burning. When the briquettes are covered with a layer of ash and glowing, they're ready. Pour them into the bottom of the grill, cover, and let it heat up. Consider using hardwood charcoal instead of the standard charcoal briquette. It adds a great smoky flavor that marries well with hot dogs. If you have a gas grill, turn on all burners to get the grill good and hot. You want the grill itself to sear the dogs as soon as they hit. When you're ready to grill, you can turn down the heat to medium so you don't burn the dogs through and through. Not even Grey Poupon can help that!
Summary: Pour on the charcoal. Step on the gas.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dip a 3 in (7.6 cm) paintbrush into the sealer and glide it across the outer 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of your work surface in one smooth, thin coat. This will make it easier to apply to the sections of the perimeter that your roller won’t quite reach.  Most outdoor concrete sealers are made epoxy or acrylic, which are durable, waterproof, and resistant to slips, scuffs, and UV rays. Indoor sealers tend to be water-based, as these products don’t emit harmful fumes.  Sealing your newly-stained concrete is optional, but many home improvement specialists encourage it as it protects the stain from general wear and tear, prevents the initial color from fading, and lends a polished, glossy finish. Start at one edge of your work surface and push the roller across to the opposite edge, then turn, reposition the roller and work your way back. Repeat this pattern until you’ve covered your entire work surface.  As you did with the stain itself, focus on achieving even, consistent, total coverage. Don’t be concerned if the sealer looks white immediately after you apply it—it will dry clear. Concrete sealers dry to the touch fairly quickly, so you won’t have to wait long before you’re able to apply your second coat. In the meantime, keep clear of your work surface. Any contact with the wet sealer could rub it off, leaving patches of the concrete exposed and unprotected. Check the label of the sealer you’re using for more detailed drying guidelines. For this coat, roll on each section at a 90-degree angle to the direction you went with your first coat. If you applied your first coat vertically, for example, you’ll apply the second coat horizontally. Layering your coats in this way will ensure that every last crack, crevice, and depression gets filled with the sealer. Be careful not to slather on either coat too thick. Doing so could cause bubbles or large larger blisters to form in the cured finish. Curing is different from drying, as this is when the sealer will harden to its true finish. After a full day, your concrete surface will be ready to use! If you choose to seal your work surface, it will be important to apply a fresh coat of sealer every 3-4 years to keep it looking its best.

SUMMARY: Brush the sealer around the edges of the concrete by hand. Roll a full coat of sealer onto the remaining surface in one direction. Let your first coat of sealer dry for 1-2 hours. Apply a second coat of sealer perpendicularly to the first. Allow the sealer to cure for 24 hours.

We all lead very busy lives, and it can be hard to find a time to dedicate to taking care of ourselves. However, setting a routine will make it easier to commit to this practice.  The best times to meditate are generally right after waking up or just before going to bed. This is when you're less easily distracted by other activities.   You can also meditate at other times of the day if these work better for you, as long as you commit to a schedule. In any case, make sure you set aside a time in which you feel calm and your attention is not driven to other things. For example, you can reserve a special corner in your home for it. Even better, you can meditate in your garden if you have one. Whichever place you choose, make it become your regular  space for meditation.  Get a cushion, a mat or a chair that you really like and that you can use specifically for your practice. Burn some incense, if you find it helpful. Aromas help many people concentrate and relax. Posture is extremely important in determining the outcome of your sit. This can vary based on the specific form of meditation you practice. Whether you are sitting on a chair or a cushion, push your shoulder back, keep your back straight and bring your chin to your chest a little so that you can extend the rear of your neck.  If you are sitting cross-legged, find a comfortable position that you can maintain throughout the practice. Put your hands on your lap, either with your palms up or in a position that feels comfortable for you. Keep your body warm and relaxed; do not clench or tighten your muscles. When choosing a space, it is important that you don't usually perform other activities in it that might divert your attention. For example, a lounge with a TV can be a highly distracting space. Instead, a bedroom is a space where you are more naturally led to relax and focus on yourself.  People are by far the most likely form of distraction. If you meditate at home, choose a time when no one else is around. if you meditate in a park, opt for a secluded spot. It's okay to meditate in the presence of other people if they're also practicing some form of meditation. Switch off your phone and other devices. You don't want to have to answer calls when you're in the middle of a sit. Put away anything else that might act as a distraction, such as books or food. If you can't avoid some background noise, try to get used to it so that it no longer affects you after a while. It is impossible to find perfect silence; your mind needs to make the best of what you can get. According to a popular saying: ‘You are what you eat’. Eat light meals in order to prepare your body for a practice, and try to meditate away from larger meals if you can. The digestion process can take up most of your energies, which you would need for the practice.  Avoid foods you might be particularly sensitive to: again, digestion issues can work as a distraction. If you eat a lot of fried food, use too much oil or spices, you might feel restless while meditating. On the other hand, eating too much meat, canned food and food that has gone off can make you sleepy during your practice.
