MORSE CODE (TELEGRAPHY) SPEED
A simplified means of determining speed of Morse Code telegraphy is to count the number of dashes continually sent using consistent spacing between them in 5 seconds. From this you will derive the Morse Code speed in Words Per Minute. This method works best when using electronically generated keyer Morse telegraphy.

CHOOSING FABRIC FOR CLOTHING
Texture and sheen look bigger; smooth and dull look smaller. This is why most of us should never appear in public in tight pink satin jeans.

MEASURING SERUM CALCIUM
In patients with low serum albumin, the true value for total serum calcium is approximated by subtracting the measured albumin from 4.0, multiplying the result by 0.8, and adding this result to the measured total serum calcium in mg per deciliter.

Certain Places
PARKING AT L.L. BEAN
If you're trying to park at L.L.Bean, drive through the small lot in front of the store. Chances are, someone parked there will be leaving. If you don't find a space the first time through, try a second time. After that, give up and park with the hordes.
