2021-11-25 20:30:20 However, Neverthless, Still, On the contrary

اسم باکلاس کلمه های بالا، Conjunctive  Adverbs of Contrast هست.
این قید ها clauseهای مستقل (جمله های کامل) رو به هم  متصل کرده و یه رابطه معنادار بین دو جمله بوجود میارن، ولی نمیتونن کلمه ها، phraseها و جمله های غیر مستقل رو به همدیگه وصل کنند.

However
قید بالا نشون دهنده تضاد هست:
a. Men smoke less than in the past; however, the number of women who smoke is increasing.

However/ Neverthless/ Still
در بعضی از موقعیت ها، قید های گفته شده میتونن به جای هم بکار برن. همه‌ی این قیود این معنی رو میرسونند که جمله قراره یک نتیجه‌ی غیر منتظره داشته باشه یا اینکه با جمله‌ی قبل از خودش در تضاد باشه:
b. Studies show that cigarette smoking is dangereous to one's health; however/ neverthless/ still, millions of people continue to smoke.

On the contrary
عبارت بالا هم، مثل قید های قبل، نشون دهنده تضاد هست ولی معمولا دو جمله که به طور کامل باهم در تضاد هستند رو به هم وصل میکنه. در موقعیت هایی که دو جمله یکدیگر رو نقض میکنند، بکار میره:
c. The teacher wasn't disappointed with the test scores; on the contrary, she was very pleased with them.

I.e. is an abbreviation for the phrase id est, which means "that is." I.e. is used to restate something said previously in order to clarify its meaning.

For example: If your home has “hard water” (i.e., a high mineral content), your sinks, showers, and tubs no doubt bear white or yellow buildup as a result.

E.g. is short for exempli gratia, which means "for example." E.g. is used before an item or list of items that serve as examples for the previous statement.

For example: The North American countries (e.g., Canada and the U.S.) were involved in the agreement.

"Equipment" is an uncountable noun and is always followed by a singular verb.
When talking about one machine or tool, you say a piece/an item of equipment.

2021-09-25 19:52:28 Memory Palace (method of loci)

This one is very powerful, but time-consuming. In this method you imagine items that you need to memorize in a place (like a house) our throughout a route to which you are familiar. This technique is most useful for items that are in order, like lists and cycles. It's also recommended to imagine the items in the funniest and most absurd way possible. To learn more you can of course google it!

2021-09-19 18:27:03 Mnemonics

Simply put, you encode information in a way that allows for efficient storage and retrieval. Here, you can use short poems, keywords, acronyms, or memorable phrases. You can even use visual cues to memorize information.
For example, I used to memorize the first column of the periodic table like this: هلینا کرباسی‌فر, which stands for H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
Or another example would be: dREaM during REM sleep, which I used in medical school.
Maybe rhyme them? like: Emphysima is an obstructive lung disease — FEV1 and FVC decrease!!
Well, you get the point right? Remember, the more absurd and dirty it is, the easier you'll remember it.

2021-09-19 17:58:55 How can we learn and memorize stuff efficiently according to science-based research?

There are several complementary methods. First, you need to feed the information to your memory in a proper way that doesn't vanish a few minutes after. Then, you need to maintain and reinforce that memory so that it sticks longer. In the following posts, I will discuss 4 methods, which are Mnemonics, Memory Palace, Active Recall, and Spaced Repetition.

A well-rounded person has a range of interests and a variety of experiences.
You describe someone as well-rounded when you are expressing approval of them because they have a personality that is fully developed in all aspects.
